Bulls In The Bronx [Raid]

The damned cat managed to eel his way between her and Dragon, and Justice snarled at him angrily for getting in her way as they crashed together, her right shoulder hitting the left side of the cat's front chest a beat before the rest of her chest follow to slam against the front much smaller beast's lower throat and front right side of his chest. A snarl that turned to a half-yowl when she had to jerk her head up out of the shorter cat's reach, his claws just catching the bottom left side of her muzzle nearly to her cheek, the moderate lacerations barely curving under her mud-coated chin. Her left forepaw, attempting as it was to wrap around Dragon's leg, instead connected with the jaguar's upper left foreleg that had volunteered itself so nicely by his positioning, jerking the leg out from under the much-smaller creature. See how he liked getting dumped on his face in the dirt, the interfering little bastard. Between that and how hard she'd hit him he should be down choking in the grass for a while, and the yearling decided she could safely ignore him. Without pausing, she pivoted her hindquarters to her right a touch over ninety degrees, essentially spinning in place around the jaguar to face towards the charging Dragon, and simultaneously retreated back a couple steps to clear her of the jaguar completely. Clearly the alpha had been alerted by his little pet's movement and thought he could take advantage of her being tangled with it to attack her. Well, she'd not let herself get tangled with the creature, and now she faced him several inches to the left of and forward from where his furthest-left attacks were aimed. Both chest slams and the paw swipe failed to reach their marks, with the paw swipe barely touching the front of her left foreleg and sliding away without doing any damage. The way he'd moved his head meant that she was still within reach of his bite, though, and her movement had barely been enough to off-set it. Rather than grip her behind the ears, he had managed to catch the side of her left ear, gouging a roughly triangular notch halfway between the base and the tip. As far as wounds went it was really only moderately dangerous, being hardly more of a wound than having your ears pierced, but it did act as a great reminder for her to pin her ears back to get them back out of reach, which she proceeded to do with alacrity. Her body shifted, her back rounding upward slightly in a convex fashion like an angry cat arching its back, serving to bring her hindquarters further under her for more power of movement and flexibility than if she had left them trailing out. Her weight was fairly centered, held slightly more upon her hindquarters than her fore. Her joints were slightly bent to lower her center of gravity and left loose to allow for freer movement, her paws spread and the nails of her rear paws digging in. Her tail lashed loosely at the level of her spine to act as a counter balance. Her ears were of course pinned back already after the painful reminder she'd received, and her eyes were likewise protected by narrowing them within the confines of her mud-caked face. The pull of that wound was reminder enough by itself. Her hackles were raised as well, liberally spiked with blood by now anyway. And barely a breath after the painful slice to her ear, Justice retaliated. With her hindquarters already beneath her and her weight already rocked back to them, Justice uncoiled those muscles like a spring suddenly released from tension. She jutted the point of her right shoulder forward slightly, aiming to leap forward and upward and trying to maintain her slight angle toward his left side, in an attempt to slam the solid point into the left side of Dragon's windpipe several inches down from where his jaw met his throat. She hoped to displace the windpipe and leave him choking. Simultaneously she brought her forepaws up in an attempt to bearhug his neck, her left paw seeking to curve around the front of his neck to catch on his right side forward of and above his shoulder, and her right foreleg attempting to drape overtop the left side of his neck. Partly she hoped to drag him into the attempted shoulder strike, but mostly it was an attempt to hold him too closely for him to get the momentum to slam into her or move bite. At the same time she twisted her head slightly to her left and, from her raised position, attempted to snap her jaws shut over top the bridge of his muzzle where it met his brow. Her upper fangs were aimed for his right eye, her lower jaw for his left eye, and she sought to pierce the delicate orbs and crush the sockets with her powerful jaws, attempting to bring an end to the fight and to the threat this traitor posed to the family he'd betrayed by attempting to steal from them. JUSTICE vs DRAGON for MAIM (complete blinding) Round 2/2 Height 33" Build Heavy OOC NOTE: If there is any confusion about the first paragraph, two of Justice's attacks from her last post were not mentioned at all I made the decision to have them land in the manner they did. I also had some difficulty keeping track of positioning writing this post so if you have trouble with figuring out where she's supposed to be feel free to skype me and we'll figure it out. |
