At the promise of a good fight, Jack really couldn't help herself. A brassy laugh cursed her chest, her throat. Everything about it was brilliant, and her strength was her own. Everything about her is splendid. The antihero took enough space from the group to make sure she didn't clip any allied force with her branch. It was time. By whatever chaos forces surrounded her, it was time. There was a pale creature, a child for fuck's sake-- wait, a child? Sheeeeesh, they sent children to defend these packs? Was this even going to be fun? Ah what the hell, she'd be able to get some practice in with her stick, anyway. Shifting her weight over her back legs, Jack made to swing the stick broadly. Was it refined? No. Was she having a good fucking time? Hell yeah. Quick on her feet, swinging indiscriminately in the direction of her opponent, Jack was pleased with herself.

As the tang of blood filled the air, Modesty grimaced. She certainly hadn’t meant to make the poor guy bleed… Maybe just bruise him up a little was all… She would certainly have to make a point of getting Gil to teach her how to fight at some point… Maybe.

More rude bites ran down her flank and something clamped around her ankle and pulled, she glanced back just in time to catch sight of her antlered Flemish friend ducking to try and poke his antlers into her opponents dog’s delicate underside.  She steadied herself on three legs just in case the dog didn’t let go and opened her own jaws to bite back at the red wolf’s right hip or maybe the base of his tail. Maybe a quick chomp and shake would give him a taste of his own medicine.

The glint of an eye and equally sharp fangs popped out from the fur of the girl’s neck. He would have almost missed the small viper with the momentum if it hadn’t been for the startling screech of his owl from above as she came swooping down to save him. Swooping with claws extended to reach for the viper, Gil peeled away from the girl to create space between her and himself.

Distracted by the threat of poison, his eyes careened over her and the blade she wielded. What he almost missed was the bush dog catapulting himself at him. As he caught sight of the growling bundle of fur coming straight for his leg, Gil let out his own call to his wolverine to come intercept. The decently sized animal full of claws and teeth came barreling at the bush dog to try and topple him over into a brawl.

While their companions went at it, Gil turned his focus back on the girl with the blade. His longer legs reacted as fast as they could to get him out of the way from the swiping sharpness. Blood trickled to the ground as the tender skin of his belly lightly split. Gritting his teeth, he grinned at the girl. Darting to the side, he leaned back in toward her thigh as his rear leg lifted to strike out at her shoulder in an attempt to hit her with his spiked bracer.

This was Albion’s home, it belonged to him and the Klein family and these trespassers were not welcome here. His brother led them instead of the King, who was watching their every movement from a distance. Albion wanted to show just how much he had been training by taking down the dirty pirates. She was lucky Albion wasn’t very good at reading minds, he was a child but he wasn’t to be underestimated.

Albion’s clawed swipe didn’t do much, but as Jack shifted her weight the prince was able to read her movements. He ducked out of the way of the heavy swing. She was putting all of her weight into the effort and it didn’t seem like she had the best control over her weapon. Or at least couldn’t change direction very fast. That made it easy for the fleet footed pup to avoid the weapon.

In retaliation Albi aimed to do what he should have at the beginning. He threw his weight into his form as he threw himself at her, aiming to barrel into her shoulder to topple her over and avoid her parry.

They made contact, the woman showing no fear or hesitation as Cerberus came at her. If he was able to step back and look at the start of their fight, he would be impressed. There were more pressing matters though.

The woman's jaws came down over his muzzle, causing him to retract his attempted bite to her foreleg. He tried to pull backwards but her teeth almost felt deadly to him on the thin skin surrounding his nose and muzzle. He was certainly taken by surprise though that was mostly because of his inexperience to real combat.

He knew he had to get the woman to release her grip on him, so the only thing he could think to do was try and shove his head upwards using force from the ground under his paws. Even with the risk of hurting his face, Cerberus went to swoop up and then down with another attempted bite to the woman's chest.

Úlfr caught sight of a colorful man with golden markings and bright blue eyes. It didn't take long for the man to notice that Úlfr was unoccupied and he immediately started heading toward viking. Úlfr swiftly set his defenses and prepared as the other man charged. Eager for battle and contact he made no attempt to dodge and instead leapt forward to meet his opponent. He ran right into Balthier's waiting arms which wrapped around the base of his neck. Fangs sang into his scruff above his left shoulder.

Úlfr kicked forward hard seeking to slam his chest into his opponent, hoping to knock the other over onto his back now that the fenmyre wolf was on two legs while Úlfr was on all four. At the same time he attempted to bite into the tol of Balthier's left shoulder.

By the time Dalila made it over to the invaded shore of the island the fights were well on their way with each of the intruders engaged with one of Fenmyre's fighters. She stood on the edges of the fray with her mastiffs waiting eagerly at her side, her ice blue gaze searching for openings and watching the progress of the fights. She watched as Cináed drove off the black and purple woman he was fighting and Scylla ended up victorious over a gray and tan splotched man. Dunkan, however, fell to what seemed to be the leader of the group and that's where she saw her opening. She motioned for her companions to follow and the pair ran forward ahead of her in unison, the dogs working together perfectly from all of their training together.

The pair of mastiffs went to try and make first contact with the much larger, earthen hued woman. They darted around either side of their opponent, the male of the pair running to the left and the female to the right, while Dalila remained head on with Sparrow. The two companions went to bite at the alpha's back legs, grabbing at her ankles and thighs with sharp teeth. Meanwhile, Dalila tried to focus on quick, dodging attacks to Sparrow's right shoulder and right foreleg. She remained light on her feet, darting back and forth to make it hard to actually get a hold on her since she knew she didn't have size to her advantage here. She attempted a flurry of quick bites on the woman's leg and threw her crystal-spiked forehead into her shoulder a couple of times as she hopped back and forth around her.

The Pirates certainly held up a strong wall, all of them were eager to get it on and quick to fight back. They were a brave group. But Fenmyre was held together by their sturdy family ties.

Balthier was able to get his attacks in as planned, but Ulfr pushed up into his chest easily causing him to lose balance and topple over with the man at a far better advantage now. He wasn't able to stop much attacks in this position on his back so Ulfr's teeth found his shoulder as he targeted.

With much less to do now, Balthier attempted to take a bite center of Ulfr's chest closer to his throat. Also he went to grab around Ulfr's right leg with his paws, left paw under the knee and right one over so that he could try and twist Ulfr's leg in order for him to fall off balance and give him the opportunity to either back off or submit. Trying to turn the tables. Time would tell what would happen.

Jack had been a bastard, a trespasser, and little else since the day she was born. That wasn't going to stop now, under any circumstances. She was having too much goddamn fun in the act right now. It wasn't just that she didn't have the best control over her stick, no. Frankly, Jack had pretty much no control over it. But that was fine. She was having a grand time none the less. She'd put all of her weight into maintaining the spinning, and she wasn't going to stop. Momentum would carry her through... right? Something like that. The pup was big, sure, but he wasn't at his full height. Though he came knocking into Jack's shoulder, she wasn't one to be deterred. She'd been mid swing, mid spin, when he came into her, closer than she would have liked. Didn't matter. Jack wouldn't stop swinging with her branch, even as she lost her balance and had to take several steps to regain her balance. Where he'd made contact would surely bruise, but that was fine. What's a fight without a few scrapes, after all? Nah, all Jack wants to do is hit shit with her Big Stick of Fuck Offening. Was it working? Who knew!

Pyralis' fangs latched over the younger male's jaws and she bit down hard, seeking to keep hold over the yearliing's muzzle. She kept her defenses set, her limbs spreading out a bit wider for extra balance. The boy suddenly jerked his head, pulling himself free of her grasp and she immediately lunged. As she did the boys fangs found the lower side of her left neck. Teeth broke skin and held fast but she still had enough room to launch an attack of her own as she attempted to bite the top of his left shoulder, hoping to cut flesh and get a solid hold she could use to worsen the damage and maybe get the man to let her go.

By the time Sparrow had shoved off her opponent, two mastiffs were flanking her on either side. They each grabbed a leg, and despite the pain, Sparrow settled back into their bites. Many fights had been done with minimal movement, so this one would just have to be one of those. Friar went to Sparrow’s left to attempt to climb atop one mastiff and pull back its ears while Pongalo went to swoop down and pull on an ear of the mastiff on Sparrow’s right.

The tinier wolf (was it a wolf or a dog?) flew at Sparrow. Despite her fluttery moves, she had to dive in to bite, so Sparrow braced, winced, waited, and as soon as she saw the flash of teeth around her leg, Sparrow dove her head down to try to siege the head or scruff of her assaulter. She was taking some damage on three of her four legs, sure, but this was a waiting game.

As Dalila was biting into her opponent's leg she suddenly felt teeth bite into her scruff at the back of her neck, stopping her in her tracks and forcing her to stop her flurry of attacks for a moment. Going on the defensive, Dalila aimed her right shoulder for the upper portion of the larger woman's foreleg and attempted to throw her shoulder into the limb so that she could jab the bronze spikes strapped around her foreleg into Sparrow's. She also tried to toss her head back to attempt to stab the crown of crystal horns around her forehead into the earthen-hued woman's cheek to try and get her to let go of her scruff. She hoped that none of these wolves were intending to cause any major damage in their fights, but she also had the comfort of knowing that as soon as the fights were done with she could retreat to Siren and Aliana to be patched up if anything went south.

What a rush! Úlfr collided with the other man, chest shoving up into his opponent and topping the other onto his back. His fangs collided with the warrior's shoulder and he bit down hard, seeking a hold. Fangs bit into his chest and he grunted with the pain but it was not enough to persuade him to let go. It seemed the other man had other plans. He felt paws wrap around his leg and pull, trying to twist the joint. Úlfr could feel himself shifting and in response he bit down harder and attempted to drop his weight down on the other man. If Balthier wanted him to fall, then he would fall but it would not be in the direction his opponent wanted.

Sparrow was able to get a good bite in on the scruff of the woman. She retaliated quickly, jabbing spikes here and there in order to have Sparrow let her go, which she did readily. This, however, put them in close combat, as the woman jutted her right shoulder and its spikes into Sparrow’s foreleg. It hurt, sure, and Sparrow winced, but warm adrenaline rushed through her now and while she’d surely feel the pokes and bruises later, she tore her mind away from the damage with practiced effort. Since the woman was all cozied up next to her, Sparrow tossed her free foreleg up and aimed to wrap it over the woman, hoping to press down and pin her to the ground till she cried uncle.

Athena had heard the call of a raid coming to their shores and she had swiftly moved to join the other warriors on the frontline. Unfortunately, the earthen wolf had stopped to call her friend Archimedes to her, having him settle upon her back and wait. Well, the minor hiccup meant her timing was off and she arrives to the party late. Poop. Amber eyes scan the battlefield, every opponent has already matched off against a Fenmyre wolf. Double poop. The eager warrior starts to pace, scanning for a target to take on. She finds the huge pup she has made friends, Albion, fighting a wolf wielding a… tree branch? With metal things sticking out it? Strange.

The fight comes to an end and she casts a worried look at the downed Albion, quickly changing direction to lope up to the pirate lady. When she gets close, Athena calls out, “Hey! Stop being mean to kids. Why don’t try picking on someone more… your age.” A lopsided grin twists her lips up as she puts on a burst of speed and rushes in toward the tree branch wielding wolf. As she nears, a tiny owl flies up from between her shoulder blades to try and peck and claw at the enemy’s eyes. Meanwhile, the earthen-hued wolf lunges for one of the wolf’s front legs, aiming to try and grab a hold. If the blow lands, Athena will clamp her mouth shut around the leg and attempt to draw blood. What fun is a battle without some blood shed?
