His fight with Tsunami had left him with minor injuries, mainly some damage on his forepaw and some bruises on his face, but he had to admit, she was one helluva spitfire. He barely had a moment to himself before his Uncle finally chimed in, and Ignis couldn't help but turn to face him, a feeling of cold dread spiking through him for a moment when he heard his uncle's threats. Did he wish to walk the same path his father did? No...but he believed what his uncle said was true. If there was one thing about his uncle, it was the fact he always tried to keep his word and seldom went back on it. He was truly afraid to meet the same end as his father, and the more he thought about it now, he knew the real, sane part of him would live in fear of that. Don't give in to the fear...that was your father's downfall, but it will not be yours. Destroy him...before he tries to destroy you. Like a switch, Ignis stared down his uncle as the fear began to melt away.
"Sorry uncle, but no matter what you do, the fact is...it will be done anyway. And nobody will stop us. If death becomes the result, then there will always be someone to continue the work we started." His voice turned cold. Smooth. Icier than it had ever been. And when Acere charged at him, Ignis moved to meet him. Both titans clashed with one another, Acere's shoulder met his chest, earning a grunt of pain from the crimson male. Ashe faltered from the brute force for a moment, Acere's teeth grabbed his ear. Ignis growled and snarled as he felt his uncle tearing at his left ear, but it was a small price to pay for what he intended to do. Ignis would raise himself on his hind legs in an effort to slam the point of his right shoulder into Acere's throat while attempting to throw his forelegs around his uncle's neck to bear hug him. The move tore his ear from his uncle's grip, and he could feel blood dripping down the side of his head. As a result, his uncle's attempt at pinning his foot would also fail, and as he was focused on his uncle, he had forgotten about the damn foxes that were always with him.
He heard a warning call from his cockatoo companion that both foxes were coming for him from behind. Shit! He knew his uncle's tactics well enough to know the foxes tended to go after their opponent's legs, but he wasn't about to risk taking a peek at their position while Acere was at his front. Holding onto his uncle, he decided to risk it. When he felt teeth starting to close in around his hind leg, he lifted the other and aimed a hard kick at whoever it was, earning a yelp as his foot hit a mark. Replanting it, he snarled with pain as the other fox grabbed onto his tail. Ignis felt a crack as the fox managed to break it, and as he was just about to abandon the assault on his uncle so he could get the fox off, the fox's weight was suddenly removed as his wolverine dragged Finn off his tail and started viciously attacking him.
A wave of relief washed over him, grateful his wolverine managed to help him out, but his tail hung limp now since Finn managed to break several bones. Refocusing on Acere, his jaws flung open as he then aimed to bring his teeth slicing across his uncle's face. At this point, he didn't care what happened to his Uncle now. He would seek to destroy him before he himself, could be destroyed.
