Even the land is my enemy!

Oscar retreats to the pup’s side, watching Nugget’s progress from afar. As the rooster puts its beak through the polar bear’s eye, the injured beast lets out a mighty roar. It thrashes its body, trying to get rid of the small, deadly distraction. The blue wolf sees an opportunity and rushes the bear, leaping on to the creature’s back. The small ass is moving as well, maneuvering himself closer to the writhing bear’s form and giving a short whistle. Dodging a wild swing, the grumpy donkey watches as Nugget releases his hold on the beast’s fur and starts to fly toward him. The pup is throwing his weight into the bear and doing a lot of damage, so the thing hardly notices the disappearance of one, insignificant bird.

Nugget flaps his wings hard, slowing his descent and Oscar catches the rooster effortlessly. The donkey moves back as the blue wolf is thrown off and he eyes the kid. Nugget settles back onto the small ass’s rump, grumbling under his breath about being bait. The pup calls to Oscar and he turns his closest ear to listen. With a solid plan, the donkey gives an affirming nod and watches as the wolf charges in. Oscar brays and snorts, trying to distract the bear even more and throw it off balance quicker. As the pup grabs the bear’s uninjured paw, the hurt creature raises its opposite appendage, and that is when the donkey sees it wobble.

The pup had done well, one of bear’s back legs teeters half-on and half-off the mountain side. Oscar rushes forward, spinning around at the last possible moment to plant his front legs. The ass hollers, “Let go!” before leaning into his front legs and bring his rear end up. The sickening crunch of breaking bone can be heard as his small hooves connect with the bear’s jaw. It blinks slowly and the dazed creature takes a step back, only to find there is nothing there. Its glazed eyes widen a fraction in fear but the beast’s broken jaw does not allow it cry out as it tumbles off the cliff. Moving away from the edge, the small donkey checks to make sure Nugget is alright. Once satisfied, he looks to the blue pup and says, “Nice job kid. You’re handy in a fight.” while flashing his flat teeth at the wolf.
