And the fight starts!

Duke runs towards the charging goblins. Their feet stomping the grass flat and the hobgoblin behind them preparing another spell. Duke suddenly disappaered from infront of the goblins and appared to the right of them. The goblins on that side fell over with their heads ripped off. The other goblins that were charging at Duke stopped, before charging towards Radolf and Balto. Duke wanted to help them, but the hobgoblin threw a fireball at him. By now the hobgoblin had covered its back and hands with fire. Its eyes locked onto Duke, with another fireball ready to be thrown.

"Hey Balto, they are coming at us!" Radolf tried to blow out the fires, which only made the fires spread further on Baltos fur.

"Oh no! Sorry Balto, but there is only one way that I know of that can kill the fires! Please dont hate me for this!" Time seemed to slow down. The goblins charging, Duke and the hobgoblin getting ready for their fight and Balto still screaming. Radolf stood as close as possible next to Balto and raised one of his hind legs. Balto shut his eyes in anticipation of what was about to come.

The goblins stopped charging for a second, looking at what was going on. The golden shower covered the flames and mist rised from Baltos fur. One of the goblins covered its mouth before puking and the rest of the goblins just looked on in disgust. Even to them, pissing on someone isnt proper etique. You should atleast make sure that they are dead before doing so. Radolf made sure to extinguish all of the flames he could and in the end, Balto was free from fire and covered in piss.

He shook the golden liquid off him and stood up. The goblins didnt give them time to warm up and charged once more. Balto met their charge with one of his own and crashed through the frontline. The goblins that got hit by the charge flew a couple of meters away, one unlucky bastard with its chest caved in. Balto saw that the goblins hit him with all kinds of things, but he didnt really feel any pain. Radolf stood outside of the pile of goblins and picked out the ones furthest out. There was even a goblin trying to ride on Baltos back.

The hobgoblin and Duke circled eachother, waiting for the other to move. The chaos caused by Balto caught the attention of Duke, who smirked. If he himself wasnt so incredibly fast, he might've fought in a similar way. The moment of carelessness created a opening for the hobgoblin. It threw a fireball aimed towards Dukes head. Right before the fireball hit, Duke ducked down and dashed towards the hobgoblin. It panicked and swiped its hand, causing fire to spew out from its hand. Duke jumped to the side to dodge the fire and dashed forward again. This time, the hobgoblin swiped upwards, causing the fire to shoot out from the ground underneath Duke. The fire took Duke by suprise and hit him in the chest, sending him flying. He landed on his paws and a silver flash removed the fire. The hobgoblin created another fireball in its hand, but this time threw it at Radolf.

The fireball went flying towards him, but was stopped by a flying goblin. Balto had thrown one of the many goblins that covered his body. There was actually five goblins on him now trying to stab into his skin, but its too thick for their teeths and nails. The goblin that got hit didnt have any fur or thick skin to protect it from the fire, so its skin immediately startet to roast. It let out a pained gargle before its lungs roasted away. This did however make some of the goblins attacking Balto turn to Radolf. To Balto, the goblins werent that threatening. His size and ridiculous tenacity made the goblins an annoyance at best. For the more normal sized Radolf, if the goblins managed to get on his back, he might get in trouble.

But before that could happen, a crow flew over the trees and let out a caw before landing on a nearby branch. At the same time, Beowul and Ulva showed up. Beowul took a quick glance at Duke before moving to where Radolf stood. Ulva looked at Duke, wishing to help him. But she would only be in the way if she tried to. She turned and looked at Radolf who seemed to be fine, then at Balto who had a bunch of goblins on him. Looks like a turd with green flies on it.

The number of direwolfs caused panic to rise even more within the goblin masses. The hobgoblin startet to get more frustrated as the fight went on. The fire covering it drained its strenght and the normal goblins are quite cowardly if their numbers get to low.

"GEGA GIGI!" It shouted out before belching out large amounts of black smoke. It quickly covered everyone. Duke and the hobgoblin got covered in the thick smoke, hiding them from view. When the goblins saw this, nearly all of them freaked out and ran in random directions. The only ones that didnt run were the ones on Baltos back. They were smiling and laughing as Balto jumped around trying to get them off. Beowul calmy walked over and killed one of the goblins on his back and threw its corpse away. The goblins on Baltos back fell off and ran for to the horizon.

The sound of fighting in the smoke suddenly increased, before abruptly stopping. Everyone turned to see what the smoke hid. As the smoke dissipated, Duke stood there with his eyes wide. Because where the hobgoblins still smoking body lay, a group of direwolfs stood! Beowul, Radolf and Ulva stood there frozen looking at the one leading the new group of direwolfs. There stood two identical direwolfs, the one on the right had a left eye missing. The one on the left had the right eye missing. The leading direwolf had a slight golden hint to its fur and a single large tooth sticking out of its mouth. It looked at Duke before speaking.

"Hello brother. Seems like we had the same idea."
