For a few seconds the Were-bear and I just stare at each other, unflinching. Daring on another to make the first move, unfortunately the were-man took the dare.

I did not want to fight an unknown enemy so quickly, so I ran at him too and tried to manoeuvre my way around him, but he would not let me.

He just executed a rough turning kick, fortunately I only just managed to turn myself to the side so it didn't hit me in the face, but it still sent me flying into the back wall if the cave, I felt a few of my ribs break from the powerful blow.

I struck the wall with a thud and fell to the floor, but I quickly sprung to my feet ready to dodge an incoming attack. Luckily my intuition was right as I saw a clawed hand swiping towards me at an unbelievable speed from the left.

I jumped backwards and batted the clawed hand to the right using my own clawed paw, thus causing the big brute to lose his centre of gravity. He leaned to the side exposing his left rib cage. I quickly deduced that clawing it would be pointless as it would take several strikes to get through its tough fur and I only had time for two strikes. So instead I spun around, activated my Steel tail and slammed it into his rib cage as hard as I could. With my steel tail skill now up to beginner level 9 I knew that I could cause some damage. (after using it in many hunts and on the ogre it had levelled up several times. But alas, it was now at a bottleneck.)

I felt several ribs break as my tail slammed into him and he flew several feet into a nearby wall. However he was quick to recover, so before he hit the wall he spun around and hit the wall feet first.

He softened the impact by using his legs like a spring and jumped off the wall using pure leg strength, flying straight at me with his claws outstretched, I rolled over to my side frantically trying to dodge him but he managed to rake his claws along my torso.

'Fuck!' If not for my steel fur that attack would have gutted me, instead it just cut a few inches deep, I spun around as fast as I could. Then my instincts screamed at me to jump forward, so I did.

I was lucky I decided to follow my instincts because we're I stood before a huge clawed hand swung down and scarred the earth. I now was standing up on my hind legs right up against the were-bear. Most would think that I am screwed right now but the truth is that I may be in the most advantageous position.

With his long arms and legs being a disadvantaged up close, I started trying tearing off the hair on his chest with my two front paws. After 2 seconds of lightning fast clawing I reached the flesh and managed to deliver one deep gash across his chest before he brought a knee up into my gut, sending me flying up and into the roof, after smashing my head on the rock hard roof I started falling down.

About 2 metres above the were-bear I started spinning as fast as I could, while the were-bear began sending an uppercut my way.

It was almost as if everything started happening in slow motion, me spinning faster and faster while his fist was rushing up to meet me.

I met his fist with staggering blow from my 'steel tail' ability, with me falling and spinning my steel tail had gravity on its side so when it met the fist a loud wet *CRUNCH* resounded across the cave.

After hitting his fist I was still recovering from his earlier knee, so when he kicked me I couldn't even defend myself. I flew once again across the room and into the wall.

*THUD*

I hit the wall with an unhealthy sound and rebounded off it. I only had the time to look up to see a set of claws raining down on my head.

I rolled away and leaped to my feet, and then bounded across the room, away from the dangerous were-bear. I shakily got my balance and looked over my opponent.

Fuck! He was still guarding the door. But one of his arms was just hanging limply by his side, it looks like I managed to turn his arm's bones into dust. His bare chest was now also dripping blood with four long and deep gashes across it. He was still standing tall though. Gotta give the tough bastard credit.

I hadn't fared any better, my rib cage was broken in too many places to count. My insides turned into jelly and 3 long gashes across my body, dripping my life blood on the cold hard cave floor.

My breathing was shallow and laboured, shit. I hope a rib didn't puncture one of my lungs, if it did I would be fucked.

We once again started our staring competition, the torturous silence continued for about a minute.

Then we both made our move, he rushed at me and used his good arm like a spear and was thrusting it at me, so I did the one thing he wasn't expecting, let it pierce straight through me.

I felt unimaginable pain as his hand speared all the way through my innards and out the back on my body, then he looked me in the eye. Confusion evident on his face.

Then his face grimaced as he looked down and saw my own clawed paw piercing up through his Bare bloodied chest and through his heart.

I looked at him with a proud look in my eyes as I watched him die, then we both collapsed on the ground.

'Hehehe' mother fucker messed with the wrong wolf.
