A change in scenery

Adrenaline courses through the nymph's veins as the battle between the duo proceeds, her first attempt seeming to reign successful as she feels the painful impact of bodies slamming against each other. Her shoulder jut seems to have an affect on the male, his movement changing as he rears up slightly to bring himself back from her slam. He cannot escape her though, and she knows she has done a decent amount of damage by the painful wail the male releases. Her own shoulder will suffer minor bruising because of the slam, but she is willing to take the damage in exchange for a win she hopes she will attain. Before Fiamette can snake her jaws beneath his jawline and bite him, he comes back down with full force, his neck scrunched against his throat, giving her less access to her previous target. (his throat) Before she can backtrack and step away from the man, his skull slams into the top of her muzzle with an admirable amount of force, causing her jaws to snap shut with an audible click before she can grasp his flesh. A venomous snarl bubbles from within her throat, and the babe snorts in protest as she tries to ignore the throbbing pain on her muzzle. Her muzzle will surly bruise after this battle, but not enough to severely hurt her. Her jaw begins to grow sore due to being suddenly slammed shut, but she ignores it.

She knows now she cannot easily strike his throat, so she seeks a new target to attack- his right forelimb. She is much shorter than him, and she will use this to her advantage. As the male drops his body slightly into a stocky position, the carmine viper attempts to mimic his movement and drops herself lower as well. Her knees bend so she can lower herself lower than she is already standing, and she attempts to use her hind legs to launch herself forward and directly into the male. With her head cocked toward her right, her jaws unhinge as she attempts to open mouth bite the mans left ankle on his front left limb, her intentions being to grab and pull back to jerk the limb out from under him. She aims to bite him hard enough to severely damage the ankle, her intentions being to break the precious bones that lay beneath the skin so he cannot use this limb in the fight. In sync with her attempted bite, her left shoulder juts out again as she lunges forward, and she attempts to slam it into the same area she had just injured. (the crease between his right sided chest and right shoulder) She aims to damage the area more, hoping to fully dislocate the shoulder by attack the same spot again.

Fiamette's defenses are only slightly faltered as she attempts her attacks, but she does her best to keep the same defenses she has started with. Her volcanic orbs are narrowed into slits, her ears are folded flat against her skull, her lips are curled to fully reveal her fangs, and her muzzle is scrunched into a vicious snarl. Hackles are raised along her nape and spine, her chin is tucked to her best ability to protect her precious throat, her head is dropped to align with her spine, and her knees are bent to better center her gravity while attacking. Her shoulders are rolled forward, her neck is scrunched to better protect the sides of her neck, her weight is evenly distributed between her four limbs, her tail is raised to align with her spine, and all of her toes splay and flex to get a good grip on the earth as she attempts to launch herself forward.

As his master makes her moves, Marco decides it is his turn to step in and assist. He watches the male carefully with his beady black eyes, his own defenses raising as he waits for his turn. Then, he sees it- the prefect opportunity. He notes the males sudden change of movement (when icthoth lowers himself) and bases his attack on it. As the males drops himself lower toward the earth, Marco attempts to sprint at the male to build momentum. (attempting to approach from icthoth's right side, between his ribs and neck) Once he is in striking range (should he get there), he attempts to launch himself into the air using the strength in his hind limbs, hoping that he will be able to jump high enough to latch onto the right side of the males neck. His front limbs extend outward and his toes hook forward as he attempts to latch himself onto the male, his left paw aiming to grasp the flesh on the man's right shoulder, and his right paw aiming to grasp the flesh on the right center potion of the man's throat. Razor sharp claws aim to dig deeply into the males skin, an attempt at getting a good grip so he can hold on should this brute start a bucking frenzy. With jaws splayed wide open, the wolverine attempts to open mouth bite the brute's right ear, his intentions being to fully bite the ear at the base of his skull, and pull his head back in a swift motion to completely sever the ear from his opponents skull.
