Lynvarr eyed the fishing bears. They were mostly gathered below the falls and according to the panicked mother, her pup was in their den somewhere half way up the rocky terrain. Now the question was how to get to the pup without starting a fight? Lynvarr carefully slunk forward, keeping his head down and hoping not to attract too much attention. He glanced at the other wolves that had offered to help before he continued his path forward. He didn't get too far before a large grizzly caught sight of him. It roared and stood up on its hind legs, unhappy with the extra company and potential for its fish to be stolen even though food thievery was far from Lynvarr's intent. His ears flicked back and he snarled. The bear fell to all four feet then charged.

Káti didn't know what to do. He really didn't want to go wading into a sea of bears but he felt for the couple that was worried about their pup. They were tiny to boot, each only a couple feet tall and since both he and Lynvarr were larger and had fighting experience they'd volunteered. Káti still wasn't thrilled about it but they'd have to rescue the pup some how. Maybe they could cause a distraction? The thought had just entered his mind when one of the bears suddenly charged toward Lynvarr. Káti reacted instinctively. He raced toward the bear's hind end and delivered a swift bite to its buttocks. The bear skidded to a stop and whipped around. Ok, well he had its attention. Káti ran as the bear chased after him. The other bears saw this mess and were starting to get agitated.

Stjarna paced down the edge of the stream where a number of grizzly bears were fishing. Two other wolves were approaching from another side. With a little luck, Star could sneak past while the bears were distracted by the fight. No suck luck though. Star wasn't sure if it was their pelt that made them so conspicuous or if the bear's were just more aware than they thought. An old male grizzly with one missing eye locked sight on him and charged. Star scrambled out of the way, just avoiding the claws. Spinning around, the wolf nipped at the back of the bear's left heel. It whipped around and gave chase. Ok, this wasn't going quite according to plan. Star leapt over the stream but the bear continued to follow, gaining on him.

Dunkan wasnt one to pick on uncalled fight nor in conflicts if there wasnt a real need for that. He didn’t want to get himself injured in a foolish way, The Hallows, his mother Resin needed his full strength to protect their young pack. They need as many working members as they could gather, and for that, he needed to keep both his mental and physical parts healthy but if the life of a pup was at risk well, there he did have reasons to get his fangs and Urasa’s claws in use. And there he followed the group of strangers with his Jaguar walking beside him who’s face was cold as much as Dunkan’s like twins. And there they didn’t have to wait too long for the first fights to start between them and the Ursidae that charged at all of them. He looked at Urasa and gave him the instruction to help Kati and Lynvarr. And so did he went to help Stjarna. Pinning his ears and raising his hackles he rushed with his neck and head lowered. And quickly he closed the distance between himself and the Bear’s back and there he attempted to bite hard on its thig and trash his head. Urasa on his side went quickly at the other bear and spreading his claws out he would jump over the bears back and dig his claws as deep as he could on its haunches. "Speech" OC-Bear 1 1/3

Lynvarr scrambled out of the way of the bear as it charged, turning sharply to avoid running into a black bear who was moving farther down stream to avoid getting caught in the conflict. Káti was quick to move in and bite the bear on the rear. He was assisted by the other man's jaguar. The bear whipped around to give chase to the other wolf and Lynvarr turned and headed toward the caves while the bear was distracted. He tried to keep low so as not to attract any more attention though a large female grizzly happened to see him sneaking toward the caves. She got to her feet and growled. Lynvarr slowed and eyed the bear but it didn't seem like she was going to start a fight. He moved slowly, carefully taking a few steps toward the caves while at the same time moving away from the female grizzly.

Káti raced along the edge of the stream as the bear chased after him. It was like a wild obstacle course as he tried to avoid rocks, trees, keep his balance and not run into any other bears. At that moment the jaguar leapt onto the back of the bear. It roared and thrashed, trying to shake the jaguar off of it. Káti turned and charged toward the bear, snapping at the side of the bears face. It roared and tipped back onto its hind legs as it tried to make the jaguar fall off while getting its face out of the way of Káti's fangs. As it rose up onto its hind legs Káti launched himself forward, fangs digging into the bear's belly, though he quickly realized this wasn't a great target. The bear's pelt and fat were so thick that he was barely making any damage.

Stjarna raced to the base of the mountain but slowed as they heard the old grizzly behind him roar in pain. Star risked a glance back and saw that one of the other males had seized hold of the bears thigh. It twisted around to get at its new attacker. Star saw that Lynvarr was working his way toward the cave so Star decided to focus on keeping the more aggressive bears distracted. Star leapt forward and latched onto the back of the bear's left arm. He thrashed his head seeking to do as much damage as possible. The bear's head reached around, giant fangs snapping at his head. Star quickly let go and shuffled back out of the way as the bear reached out and tried to claw him. Star leapt to the side and managed to avoid the claws but the bears giant paw swept his legs out from under him, causing him to fall to the ground.

Urasa quickly dropped back to the ground taking a few steps away but just to consider his next moves. Dunkan himself was focused on keeping the bear distracted from the wolf who approached the cave the pup could be hiding in. Dunkan moved away as the bear aimed to wipe its huge paw toward him. Barely dodging the blow. But then he took advantage and took the paw(by the wrist) and widely trashed his head to maybe damaging it. It was always better to disable the opponent's most dangerous weapons. And so he did. Then he backed off with blood on his maw. Finally, the jaguar went forward and in a quick was he crawled the other bear right in the face. But backing away as well. Bear 1 2/3 "Speech"

Lynvarr moved carefully, taking one step and then another. He felt like he was moving in slow motion as he tried not to attract the anger of the female grizzly. Just when he thought he might be able to sneak past her she suddenly charged. She was massive! Lynvarr dove between the bear's legs, slamming into her left hind leg with his chest, his fangs tearing into flesh wherever he could find purchase. The sudden strike caused the bear to lose her balance and she tipped forward, crashing into the dirt. With a roar of fury she got to her feet and whirled around, chasing after Lynvarr as he dove for the cave. He was almost certain he was going to make it…

Then another bear showed up. This was a massive male brown bear with a broken tooth and he ran with incredible speed, quite literally bearing down on Lynvarr. Lyn had no choice but to scramble to the side and out of the way of the next attacking bear. He hoped to circle back to the cave but now the bear was in his way. He eyed the female grizzly but she'd wandered off. Hell, she didn't seem like she wanted to get in this male's way either. Lynvarr's ears flicked back as he eyed the bear.

Káti tore into the bear's belly, ripping through fur and fat and into the flesh below. Blood soaked his mouth and bear roared in pain before falling forward. He saw the downward motion of the bear and leapt but not before it partially fell on him, pinning his hips and hind legs beneath its massive bulk. Káti wiggled and twisted as he tried to work his way out from underneath the bear. Thankfully the jaguar clawed the bear in the face, forcing it to get back to its feet so and giving Káti the space he needed to get out from under the bear. His back ached but nothing was broken. He limped a little as he watched the bear continue to back up, swiping at its face from the pain the jaguars claws had caused.

With one bear down another took its place. A large female brown bear with a honey-colored coat had decided she had enough of the ruckus. She lumbered toward him and the jaguar, her fangs glistening with saliva as she roared and stomped her front legs onto the ground to show she meant to tear them apart.

Stjarna quickly got back to their feet, wincing as they did so. Star's shoulder hurt and they knew it was badly bruised for bearing the weight of the fall. The bear soon moved to attack but Dunkan managed to catch the bear's attention. The man was ripping into one of the bear's wrist's so Star moved in and grabbed the other. Star thrashed their head side to side, ripping tendons and causing as much damage as possible before the bear's fangs dove down and tried to seize the wolf by the scruff. Star just managed to scramble out of the way. The bear limped and shuffled back.

ROOOOAAARRRR

Stjarna jumped as a loud roar cut through the air way to close by. Looking up they saw a large brown bear standing on his hind feet and staring down at the black and white wolf. Ah, shit. The bear slammed its front paws down, trying to squish the wolf. Star leapt out of the way just in time.

Urasa’s claws were successful with clawing the bear on its face. He was indifferent, he was helping his partner and the bear started it anyways so he felt in the right to do so. Dunkan and the other wolf took each a wrists ending up with getting the intended effect. And like that the first bear was dispatched. But soon a loud roar took him away from the fleeting bears, a female grizzly ran toward his jaguar and the other stranger but he felt no concern as he trusted in that Urasa was going to be fine, he was a formidable cat. And focusing on his own situation a much bigger bear charged toward them. Snarling with his fangs showing he narrowed his eyes. And wasting no time the Ursidae attempted to catch Star and there in a quick way he launched himself forward with jaws wide and just like he did with the previous bear he attempted to lock his jaws in the bears left wrist and trashed his head. For then stepping back to stay away from the reach. Urasa in his side roared and with a deadly grace he took position behind the female bear and with both paws with unleashed claws would attempt to dig them on the butt of the bear.

The snaggle-toothed male rose onto his hind legs, towering over Lynvarr before letting out a terrible, spine-tingling roar. This was not a fight Lyn wanted. He dove to the side, hoping to use his speed to get around the bear but it was much faster than he anticipated. The bear landed on all four feet then took off after him. It was massive! He could feel the bear's breath on his haunches. He leapt as the bear tried to slice open his hips. He avoided the brunt of the attack but the bear's arm still caught his feet, sweeping his legs out from under him and sending him crashing into the dirt. Shit! Lynvarr got to his feet just in time to avoid being bear food. The bear's fangs missed his scruff but sliced fine lines across the top of his right shoulder as he put on a burst of speed and dove toward the den where the pup was supposed to be hiding.

Káti eyed the female bear, taking one step back to see if he could maybe de-escalate the situation but the bear seemed determined to attack. She roared and charged toward him and the jaguar. Káti held his position until the last possible moment, dodging the left as the bear tried to slam her front paws into him. He kept going, kicking off with his hind legs as he charged for the bear's right hind leg. He slammed his chest into the leg, his teeth biting into flesh, ripping at tendons. The bear yowled and twisted around to try and get at him. Eventually, he was forced to let go and dive to the side to barely avoid her claws which cut light lacerations in his right side, just behind his armpit. He hissed in pain but tried not to think too much about it. Letting up with a bear on his heels would mean certain death. He didn't need to run long though as the jaguar dug its claws into the bear's rear end. The bear roared and left Káti in favor of going after the jaguar.

Stjarna bounded out of the way of the bear's monstrous paws, eyes glinting in aw at the claws on this monstrous beast. Yikes! It wouldn't take much for those claws to render a wolf down to strips. The brown male bit into the bear's left wrist. Stjarna twisted around to join the attack and put on a burst of speed, slender legs eating up the distance between wolf and the bear as they leapt forward with a ferocious snarl. Stjarna landed on the bear's shoulders, fangs seizing hold of the bear's right ear, arms wrapped around the bear's neck and legs holding on as best as a wolf could in this situation. The bear stood up suddenly but Stjarna stubbornly hung onto the ear until it suddenly ripped, causing blood to splatter into the air as Star tumbled down the beast's back and landed with a thud on the ground.

As his attack brought the bear's attention toward himself he dropped to the ground moving around so he could get out of the reach of those nasty claws and jaws. Winkling his maw to reveal his fangs and flattening his ears he waited for the bear to turn its back and as it did he darted forward to repeat the previous move this time attempting to now reach higher to the hips, digging his claws to stay in a solid position then he would attempt to bite on its spine using crushing bite force as any jaguar had. Dunkan on his own side was going after the wrist of the bear so he could cause as much damage as he could. "Speech" bear 2 2/3

Lynvarr twisted sharply, diving into the den, the sudden motion causing the bear to skid past the opening as it tried to follow the wolf. Lynvarr spied the pup and grabbed it by the scruff, racing back to the entrance. He leapt out of the den just as the bear attacked, its fangs ripping through his scruff but failing to get a hold. Lynvarr winced but kept running. The bear gave chase. It was like a mine-field of bears. Some watched the chaos while others ignored it in favor of catching as many fish as possible. Lynvarr could feel the snaggle-toothed bear getting closer. Lynvarr leapt to the side and skidded to a stop as the bear sailed paste him right into the river. It roared and sputtered, scrambling out of the water but by that time Lynvarr was long gone, racing to take the pup back to its family and get as far away from the bears as possible.

As the bear turned away from him to go after the jaguar, Káti eyed his next target, the bear's fluffy little tail. He dove forward, fangs latching around the tail. He thrashed his head, sending fur flying as the bear roared and twisted around to get him. Káti's fangs held fast but the sudden motion swept him right off his paws as he was dragged around by the bear who was flailing and twisting trying to get at him. Káti had no choice but to let go. He scrambled out of the way and that's when he saw Lynvarr rush by with the pup secured between his teeth. "Yes, we have the pup!" His call immediately drew the female bear's attention but there was no reason to continue the fight now. Káti sprang after Lynvarr, hoping to outrun the bear and get to safety.

Stjarna blinked for a moment, trying to clear the stars that were dancing across their vision. Rolling to their feet, Star eyed the bear and the man that was fighting it, quickly determining a course of action and charging for the bear's left hind leg. Fangs ripped through flesh, digging for the bear's Achilles' tendon. Severing this tendon would render the leg useless and give them an advantage in this fight. Star shuffled and moved with the bear until at last the tendon was clipped causing the bear to suddenly start limping. At that moment, Stjarna heard Káti call out, stating that the pup was safe. Casting a quick look to Dunkan, Star followed after the other two men, seeking to get away from the bears and this whole mess of insanity. No doubt they'd be attacked by bear after bear and if this went on much longer Star would completely run out of energy.

The carnage kept going as Urasa bit even harder and blood soon poured from both the claw wounds and those from his fangs. The bear roared in pain and Urasa dropped once again back to the ground with blood soaking his throat and claws. As he heard the wolve's words he rushed to his companion Dunkan. And as such Dunkan realized his grasp and beside his feline friend both were done. Blood also covering Dunkan's face, giving him a quiet intimidating look. Well, this worked well for training and bettering his combat skills. And with that, both males left.

He couldn't wait to tell his mother what he did.
