Tough Love

[Wistful Beast]

The circle closed in excitedly, jostling each other for a better view of the brawlers. With bated breath they listened to the rules. 2 minutes was enough time for a lot of damage to be done. This was going to be an explosive fight, not rules but the prevention of lethal wounds. When Spike and Dagger shifted, the Kitty Kickers cheered while the Onyx Dragon members booed and carried on with barking and laughing.

"So that's how we're going to fight,"Roxy commented, beginning to shift. In a flash, a large wolf took her place, its pelt creme colored and well groomed. Past scars showed that she had survived her fair share of fights, implying experience, which she had plenty of. As did Spike and Dagger. She knew because she had trained the two herself. They had less experience than Roxy, but the fact that there were two of them and they had been training recently gave them an edge. Of course Roxy was still confident, arrogant as usual.

The two charged forth in a flash, given the signal to start, Spike snapping at her chest and Dagger snapping at her legs. Roxy skipped around to avoid their teeth, moving fluidly and surprisingly quickly. Then Dagger backed off, beginning to bark wildly to create a distraction while Spike continued on the offense, continuing to target Roxy's chest. Roxy hopped backwards and shook her head wildly at the sharp sounds assaulting her ears, pulling her lips back into a savage snarl. When Spike lunged towards her chest, Roxy lunged forth to meet her, teeth aiming to bite the other canine's head or the top of her neck. Spike was able to get close enough to latch onto Roxy's chest, but could she keep her grip while Roxy led a vicious assault on her head and the top of her neck? A bite landed on Spike's ear and she yanked on it wildly before moving on to worry another location.

Dagger's barking was driving Roxy mad, only fueling her ferocity.

Spike held on as long as she could with Roxy's teeth gripping onto the top of her head. She thrashed her head in an attempt to shake Roxy off her, but lost her grip to only gain a mouthful of fur. Spike coughed, wiping her head around to release herself from Roxy and backed off, letting Dagger take over.

Dagger held her head low as she snapped at Roxy's legs, jumping back and forth and side to side, anyway to keep herself from Roxy's jaws. Spike took over the wild barks, blood dripping down her head and over her eyes. The barks seemed to motivate Dagger more as the female wolf circled Roxy fully before lunging at her hind ankles, wanting to hold them tightly and pull, off balancing Roxy for Spike to come in and pounce.

Muse kept one eye on the fight and the other on the time. 30 seconds already flew by. The cheers from both gangs nearly washed away Spike's crazed barking, names of each fighter erupting in the air. Muse raised her hand to quiet down the Kitty Kickers from afar. They quickly followed orders, their cheers turning into more of a loud hush of happy and eager whines.

Spike hopped around, continuing to bark and howl, waiting for her opportunity to jump in after Dagger's attempt of knocking Roxy to the ground. The wolf licked her lips of the blood that dripped nearby, restless to land another blow on her former alpha. She was confident her and Dagger could take on Roxy, leading their former alpha to mainly go on the defensive throughout the two minutes. She and Dagger had much to prove to both Roxy and Muse while Damara struggled to watch the fight from the sidelines. Damara, who sat in her were-beast form, only gave a few timid barks in hopes of helping slightly.

Dagger kept nipping and biting at Roxy's hind ankles, being careful to avoid Roxy's sharp canines, waiting for the perfect opportunity to grab hold of them, flip Roxy down, and let Spike take over the fight.
