foxes round 2: FIGHT!

Aaaaaaand here they went! Honestly the group was lucky that two got caught at all, the canines now fixed to the ground by a snap trap around their paws and that the pups had stuck back in the den. It meant that the loose foxes could be focused on and the rest was just clean up.

Except.... Well nothing was ever that simple was it. One fox, a large scarred adult male seemed to almost jolt when Mudhound darted out into the open, fangs out. The tripod didnt know a lot of fox facial expression, they'd only really picked up basic understanding of their language because it was similar to dog.... But this one looked personally vengeful and furious.

'MURDERER CAT! REVENGE FOR SIRE AND DAM!'

And suddenly, as Wolfhives warning came too late and the fox slammed into Mudhound in a grapple and the tripod could feel the shape of the scars they recognized this fox. After all, they'd been the cat to leave these scars on a fox pup that'd attacked the ill fated patrol lead by Alderstep so long ago, the only foe that'd survived that massacre.

Crud.

The two creatures were a sudden violent ball of claws and fangs and fury, Mudhound forced to use all strength to keep the vengeful animal off of their throat as it turned into more of a grapple then a fight. There were no room for stances or moves even, just brute strength and a desperation to kill the other before they could kill you. If Mudhound could get a bit of space the tides could maybe change, and they could get at the throat of the creature savaging them but for now they were both just collecting wounds between furious snarls and shrieks.

(Alright lighting feel free to have bracken come in with the kill assist! Ill have muddy kill the fox in my next post)

Brackenclaw-24 moons old, He/Him, Thunderclan Warrior, No Purrks.

Brackenclaw saw the predicament Mudhound was currently in and knew that the Hornet could use his help. Brackenclaw was a well built large Maine Coon after all with plenty of muscle backing him up. Brackenclaw would charge forward leaping at the Fox claws unsheathed as he barreled into it knocking it of course and raking his claws down it's shoulder it would seem. Brackenclaw would remain ready to pounce though if he had to. Brackenclaw wouldn't let this mangey furball hurt his Clanmates anymore than it already had. Brackenclaw would ask Mudhound. "You good?" Brackenclaw asked the Hornet his deep dark voice rumbling out despite the worry he was trying to portray. @BEAR. @TanghuluCat @Morrigan @Blaaze @Spider

Jaws snapped near Mudhounds face, so familiar from the not so distant past. Did this fox remember all that occurred? Did the fox remember tearing into Mudhound side, spilling blood with glee until the tables turned? The foxes had been so keen and eager to kill the tripods apprentices when they thought they had the upper hand, where had that bloodthirsty joy gone when the tables had turned. Fighting off the vengeful fox right now Mudhound saw themself in that fury, the anger they'd felt about what'd been done to their loved ones that'd driven them to kill the foxes.


Wasnt that funny how that cycle of vengeance brought them here once more. Old friend fox, one of them was going to die today, beast or beast.


Not the hound, as it seemed however.



Gasping as the fox was torn off of them by Brackenclaw Mudhound rolled to their paws, finally heaving in air untainted by the rotting stench of death from the foxes maw. He'd torn the fox away, thankfully, giving the hornet much needed space to breathe and now the beast was recovering trying to figure out how best to attack two massive cats.

Was Mudhound good? That was a stupid question, they were facing their horrible past with this fox and covering in scratches, slowly dripping blood. It was nothing critical but best to finish the fight sooner rather then later, then tackle the wounds before they could turn infected. Still, breathless and tired already the tripod could only pant, vision split between the fox and warrior.



There was no time to respond, only to finish it and do so fast, especially as the fox turned to Brackenclaw. Deeming the tom distracted and wanting its pound of flesh for the injury dealt the fox lunged, attacking with brutality and aiming for the kill. No doubt Brackenclaw could fight it off given time, but Mudhound had jolted into action the moment they saw the fox move and so gave no time for the tides to turn either way.


Then ran, racing against time, against the fox, against this ever happening again and leapt.

Fangs in its neck, a brutal thrashing of their head, a loud 'SNAP'. And it was over, the fox went limp falling to the ground unable to lift its head with a broken spine and feline teeth shearing through its spinal cord. It couldnt gasp, let out some pitiful whines and wheezes as its life fled it, and go limp.


Goodbye fox kin, you shouldve run faster. Now who next?


One fox left in the traps as Risingstorm killed the other, one fox outside facing Wolfhive who could handle it. ....Mudhound went over to play loud painful distraction regardless.
