I can't bear it

Feeling something attack its rear leg, the bear whipped around. Too fast and it stumbled, losing its footing. Hattori charged forward, shoving into the beast with all of his might as to force it onto the ground. It landed with a mighty thud, strong enough that the ground shuddered beneath Hattori's paws. He scrambled forward, teeth grasping for the line of its throat. A risky move, its paws were not to be underestimated, but this was not a chance he could let slip by. Either the bear would yield or fight to the death, the choice was out of Hattori's paws.
