*Kodiak Bear* (Athara)

A large female kodiak bear shuffles in, looking for a den. She approaches near Storm Alarm's den, but doesn't seem very interested in the wolf. She begins to enlarge the hole, digging it out into her own den. She then shuffles in, and lays down, going to sleep.

Storm Alarm

With all her mother savagery, Storm Alarm rushes at the bear, blind with the fury to save her pups. She bristles her fur, and glares at the bear with eyes gleaming furious. She also snaps wildly at the female with all her wolf strength and quickness. As far as her pups were concerned, she wasn't intimidated by the bear's size.

Quamia

Quamia, alarmed by her sister's snarling and the scent of the Kodiac bear, rushes to the den. She was fairly small, especially compared to Storm Alarm, so she squeezes through the den, and begins to retrieve the pups one by one and set them out a few yards from the den, and away from danger.

*Kodiak Bear*

The female bear lashes out with a massive paw at Storm Alarm, not fearing the she-wolf at all. She was enraged, for this was her den. She suddenly lunges out, grabbing Storm Alarm around the back of the neck with her powerful jaws.

Storm Alarm

She twists her head back to snap at the she-bear's throat before the strong jaws might crush her neck. Storm Alarm knew well that the bear's fur was thick, but she tried anyways while struggling and writhing her more lithe body to escape.

Shadow

Shadow had entered the place to find storm alarm and was struck by the sight of this other bear. She let out a quick howl "Thunder's Call come quick!" Then she ran at the kodiak. She lunged and landed on the bears back locking her jaw on the side of the throat.

*Kodiak Bear*

She lets go of Storm Alarm's neck, but bad gashes are left, meaning any more attacks could mean loss of blood. The bear turns her anger on Shadow, and lashes out with her large paws at the wolf’s face.

Thunder's Call

The large grizzly comes charging in, uttering a terrific roar. He quickly locates the den, but can hardly fit in it. Thunder's Call rumbles at the she-bear, swinging a massive paw at her as he manages to squeeze into the den. He is careful not to strike either of the wolves.

*Kodiak Bear*

The kodiak bear growls, baring her teeth at the intruder to her den. Being larger and then he, she wasn't afraid. She leaps at Thunder Call, driving him from the den entrance. She was now out in the open, and reared up on her hind legs, showing her massive size. She lands with a thud, growling angrily.

Shadow

Shadow was knocked from the bears back when she swatted at her. And left in the den when she came out. But Shadow shook her head regaining her vision and ran out of the den and once again leaped at the Kodiak landing again on her back but far enough to where she snapped her jaws around the top of the bear’s muzzle.

*Kodiak Bear*

The bear roars in rage, slashing out a Shadow, with her large paws. She was getting tired, but was not yet ready to give up.

Storm Alarm

She also leaps onto the bears back, snapping and tearing at the fur to get to the skin.

Thunder's Call

Though he didn't show it, he was intimidated by her size and ferocity as she drove him back from the den. But he had made a deal with the she-wolf, so with another defiant roar, he charges again and swipes his paw out to slash at her maw...

*Kodiak Bear*

The bear lashes out once more at Shadow, before she feels another wolf on her. She then uses one paw to slash out at Storm Alarm. The bear bellows in pain as Thunder's paw cut deeper into her already injured maw. She takes her energy off of Storm Alarm, and leaps at Thunder Call, her large teeth aiming for his throat. She wasn't going to let him survive this one, or she was going to injure him badly enough.

Storm Alarm

She drops down from the bears back to avoid her swinging paw. She was still in a furious rage to protect her pups, and ignoring her own injuries. But the injuries were taking their toll, and Storm Alarm reluctantly decided to retired to the den to keep watch of the pups the Quamia hadn't yet removed.

Thunder's Call

With his broken ribs, he wasn't in great condition to fight in the first place. In attempt to avoid a fatal attack to his neck, Thunder's Call pulls his maw down to cover his throat while swinging his long claws at the she-bear to cause as much damage as possible, and hopefully drive her off.

Sedge Fur

He was reluctant to come near the den, but the sound of battle drove him there. For a moment, he was confused on the situation; why were there two bears fighting each other next to the den? And why was his pack against just one bear? Then he remembered the pact Shadow had made with a grizzly.

Assuming the male was on his side, Sedge Fur launches himself at the Kodiac bear, fangs aimed at her shoulder.

*Kodiak Bear*

She roars as Thunder Claw's paw gashes the side of her face, ad as the pulls back, she puts her weight on his injured ribs. She swipes her paw at Sedge Fur, who was leaping at her shoulder, aiming for his eyes, which would make it harder for him to see.

Shadow

Shadow had been knocked off once again but leaped at the Kodiaks paw that was heading for Sedge Fur. She locked her jaws in a death grip around part of the bears paw.

*Kodiak Bear*

She bear roars in pain, before taking her remaining paw, and slashing repetitively at Shadow's face. All the while, she was still standing on Thunder Call.

Quamia

After returning the pups to the den, Quamia joins in the melee. She was small, but still had a powerful bite. She leaps up at the she-bears other shoulder to slash at it with her fangs.

Thunder's Call

With the massive she-bear pressing on his injured ribs, he roars out again with the pain. It was also difficult to breath with the weight pressing down on him. Thunder's Call reaches with his blunt muzzle to snap at the Kodiak’s paws...

Shadow

Shadow tried to hang on but the swipes to her face hurt so she dropped to the ground. Seeing that the kodiak was hurting thunders call se ran around to the back of the bear and bit into her hind leg and pulled back.

Sedge Fur

He shakes his head, and backs off for a second. Then Sedge Fur runs around to bite the Kodiak’s other leg to help pull her back from Thunder's Call.

*Kodiak Bear*

The bear roars, falling back with the combined effort of the wolves. She rises, now off of Thunder Call, and decides a different approach. She spots the pups, and bounds toward them, picking the first one she saw and snapping at it's neck.

Storm Alarm & Pups

The pups, hardly able to crawl, squeak pitifully as the bear closes in on them. Little more than a bundle of fur, one female can't escape the Kodiak’s jaws, and she cries out, struggling feebly.

Storm Alarm is nearly insane with rage as she bursts out of the den chamber in another rageful assault on the she-bear, this time slashing at her face, aiming mainly at her eyes and nose. Grant it she had injuries, and would have stayed put in any other situation, but these were her pups; she would fight to the death without hesitation to save them.

Shadow

Shadow again had been knocked off when the bear ran for the pups. She became blind with rage as well. "no one attacks any pups of this pack" she growled at the bear. Shadow went around to the front of the bear, leapt up and got her jaws around the top part of the Kodiaks muzzle. She hung there biting down with the bone crushing jaws that wolves have.

*Kodiak Bear*

The bear jerks her head her muzzle bleeding from other attacks. With the jerk, the pup's neck could have been broken. The bear growls, before dropping the pup. Deciding to leave the terra, but she was curious of these pups. She picks up two of them, before bounding off, to find a safer den spot.

Storm Alarm & Pups

Seeing the bear retreat, Storm Alarm doesn't immediately realize that two pups are missing. She lies down beside the three remaining... two males and the injured female. Storm Alarm nuzzled the pup that had been bitten, but it didn't move. She licked it with her caressing tongue, but got no response from that either. Storm Alarm knew how frail the pups were at that age, but she couldn't accept the obvious.... the little female was dead.

Quamia

She snarls at the Kodiac bear as it retreats, making sure it would continue to leave. She also didn't realize it took two pups. Quamia turns to look at the pup her sister was tending to, and could see that it had been killed. She started a mournful howl.

Shadow

Shadow also growls after the Kodiak. Her cheek was bleeding from the swipes that had been given to her face a few times, but it didn't matter to her. She padded slowly up to Storm Alarm. She didn’t' try to interfere with her tending to the pups, even the dead one, but she licked the wolfs neck where the wounds were. She cleaned Storm Alarms neck up then backed off a little. "You should find a new den and get the pups inside."
