It was a risky venture, but Hattori was reassured by his packmates quick thinking. They were swift to fall into place, boxing in the creature as they guided her along, taking full advantage of her blind and senseless fleeing. In the distance he saw the rest of the herd slow and look on with wary gazes, they seemed to sense what was about to happen but did nothing to intervene. For the rest of the herd to thrive this one had to die, the elders knew this. With each thundering step the group inched closer and closer to the trap, Hattori could just see the browns and greens of the bamboo shoots jutting out ahead, spiked points reaching out to impale flesh but the creature seemed none the wiser. No doubt tunnel visioning in on the prospect of freedom and safety.
The group rounded the corner and it was only then that the female saw what laid ahead. In a wide eyed panic she attempted to skid to a stop, but her massive size and velocity made her hurtle forward nonetheless. It was too late, she knew it, they all did but she struggled all the same. Hattori slammed on his own breaks as he pulled back, arching his tail to signal for the rest to do the same. She collided with the spikes with a sickening slice and snapping of bamboo stalks. The reek of blood filled the air and the female let out a pained cry as she tried in vain to dislodge herself. She was stuck in deep, spears jutting out of her shoulders and limbs. If they did not end her life the blood loss and shock would soon do the trick.
Hattori stepped in, teeth bared as he made a grab for her leg and dug his talons deep into the snow as he hauled with all his might.
