Avengers Assemble!

Defences smoothly fell into place as they both readied themselves for the fight ahead. He lowered his head to align with his spine and straightened tail; pinned his ears to his skull to lessen the risk of getting them shredded and narrowed his gaze; positioned his limbs an even distance apart, bending them at the joint and splaying his toes; kept his weight well-distributed upon each leg; rolled his shoulders forward whilst his chin remained tucked. On his end, he happened to be four inches shorter than the girl; and just like how she wished to use her height to her advantage, so did he. There had been a time when he had won against an opponent even larger than his blue friend, and thus he remained certain that there were positives for baring a smaller size. Because of this, he hoped to be swift upon his ebony paws though equally as alert for her barrelling attacks if he was to lose his concentration, which wouldn't happen either.

Whilst she charged forwards facing him, so would he, seeking to close the distance in half the time and strides as compared to if he was to wait without movement for their impact. Before her right shoulder dropped and prepared to strike his chest, his body would nimbly pivot to his left just until they no longer faced each other directly. However, as he shifted he wouldn't able to completely dodge her right shoulder, which impacted upon the bony front of his own right shoulder, creating a moderate and potentially severe bruise in its wake. Although, he was successfully able to dodge her attempted bite and stomp as his right shoulder stood alongside her left shoulder with his forelegs away from her reach. Despite that, the other half of his body from his flanks onward was left exposed to her jaws - a risky positioning for the boy. Though without hesitation, he would attempt to ram the exterior of his right shoulder into the exterior of her left shoulder whilst his jaws would unhinge in an attempt to bite and grab ahold of her trapezius muscle [ref here], seeking to cause lacerations to the flesh.
