《THE MAN WHO FOUGHT GOD》9. The Wolf Who Eats Bears
Advertisement
Joseph jumps off the ground, landing on the fallen bear's head, quickly jumping back off to avoid any swipes from it. It roars while lying on the ground. Landing, the other bear took another swipe at Joseph. He blocked the initial strike with his gauntlet and grabbed onto the bear's arm as it pulled back towards the bear. With the momentum of the bear's own arm and the force of his legs, Joseph slammed both feet into its nose. It swiped the arm Joseph was holding onto causing him to go flying once again.
Landing on his feet Joseph caught his breath, 'It's taking everything I have to stay alive and my blows barely do anything to them.' Joseph took one last deep breath, the bears were now both standing and ready to fight, "Eyes it is!"
Joseph started running despite his exhaustion. The bear he had knocked over was the first to go in, it charged at him with fury. "This better work!" Joseph lunged at the bear, shoving his gauntlet in its mouth before it could get up to its hind legs. With his other gauntlet, he jammed the sharp end that came out over his elbow into the bear's eye socket. The bear screamed in pain but it didn't let go of Joseph's gauntlet. It spun in rage throwing Joseph back and forth before finally tossing him.
Joseph flew so far he smashed into a tree, the tree line was 30 feet away. Joseph, unable to get to his feet just yet, looked at his gauntlet that was in the bear's mouth. It had the imprint of the bear's teeth slightly dug into it. 'I thought it was unbreakable! How strong are these beasts?' Able to get to his feet now he leaned up against the tree, watching the other bear close in on him while the one he had stabbed continued to toss, turn, and yell in pain.
"That's, huh, that's all I've got. This is as strong as I am!" Joseph fell to his knees in frustration, "I can't...Die? I still have to beat God. I have to save my brother!" He punches the ground and starts to stand back up, "I have to try!" Joseph is then hit in the back of the head, knocking him flat on his face.

Lifting his head he sees a wooden spear lying an arm’s reach away. Glancing up from the spear he sees White charging at the wolf, cutting it off from getting to Joseph. He stands up, again, grabbing his spear and shaking his head, "COME ON WHITE!" After those words leave his mouth a smile finds his face and he takes off running. 'No that wasn't my true strength, I still have a lot more to give!' Joseph holds up his spear screaming the cries of war.
White gets to the bear so fast it can hardly react. She bites down on a front leg of it, her momentum throwing her body in the direction she was running. Her momentum was so great it pulled the bear's leg right out from under it. The bear's head hit the floor and White let go of the arm jumping onto its back and latching down on its neck. By the time Joseph gets there, she is riding the bear. It roars, swinging its paws but can't reach her. Joseph leaps into the air slamming the end of his spear down on its head. It stuns the bear for only a second but that is all he needs.
Hitting the ground and leaping back off he stabs the spear into the bear's throat with the full force of his jump. Taking his spear out of the bear he turns, using it to block a swipe from the now one-eyed bear. It tosses him back but he's felt the power before so he knows what to brace for. He slid only a short distance before stopping. He sees White who is still riding on the bear's back, 'It's so big it even takes longer to bleed out.'
The one-eyed bear continues its assault not letting up for a second. Joseph uses his spear to smack the claw-strikes coming his way, it redirects them away from him. However, the bear does the same to him whenever he goes in for a stab with his spear. They battle redirecting blow after blow, Joseph's body aching from the damage he has taken with every attempted stab and perry. Joseph uses all his strength to leap back from the bear. Using his newly acquired distance to take his stance, bring the spear up and behind his head with one hand.

WOSHHHH, the spear cuts through the air and plants itself into the bear's one eye. It stands up and roars, Joseph quickly runs to the bear. Now blinded it drops down to four legs, or so it tried. Joseph grabbed the end of the spear as the bear lowered itself and put the butt of it to the ground. So when the bear dropped, the spear was shoved completely through its head by its own body weight.
Pulling the spear out of the dead bear Joseph looks towards the other one. It had been keeping its distance almost as if it was afraid of them.
“RAHHHAA” White let out of fearsome roar challenging the bear. Responding, the bear let out a roar of its own standing up to challenge the pair. Joseph took a couple steps back to wind up his arm, spear in hand. Looking at white he smiled, one word escaping his lips. “Fetch!”
Launching the spear, white ran after it nearly keeping up with its speed. It dug itself deep in the bear's chest. White stayed low and attacked it's growing. Joseph had never heard a bear Yelp before then. Surely due to the immense amount of pain the bear drop down to all fours causing the spear in its chest to be plunged through it and out its back. Though blood poured from its underside by the bucket, it stood and fought for another minute at least.
When it finally collapsed Joseph too hit the ground, his breathing heavy. He lies there unmoving until something rough and wet scrapes across his face. He reaches out grabbing Whites' head and opening his eyes, "Did you do this so I wouldn't make you hunt anymore? If you did it's working." White looked and him confused for a second before giving him a serious stare. Joseph sits up and Looks at White, dumbfounded "Are you serious?"
"(Stare!)"
Joseph throws his hands up in the air, "Just go ahead and eat them already! I don't have the energy to fight you right now." He then falls back to the ground and lays there. "Were only taking one home, so you better eat as much as you can. I'm still going to make you help me carry it though." White looks up for a second, giving Joseph the eye, then goes back to chowing down.
His breathing is racing so much that he can hardly catch his breath. His body screams out in pain. Not just the injuries from being thrown around by the bears, but his muscles too. No, the pain from his muscles exceeds that of his wounds. With every step, he can't help but grunt in effort. There is a paw on each of his shoulders as if they were strangling him. 'How did it come to this!' That was all that ran through Joseph's mind. A bear four times his size, maybe even more, slid behind him across the snow.
Joseph stopped, forced to take a rest by his aching muscles. "White I swear!"
A hundred feet behind him a White wolf walked backward struggling to pull a partially eaten bear. Its organs spread out across the snow, being dragged with it.

Beta Test
I'm sure I'm in for some colorful criticism, But if even a few people enjoy this, I'd be happy. As of right now the story is set in Delaware around 2005'ish'. A young man from the streets, aquires a beta test invitation in an unorthodox way. The plan is to have a comical adventure in an experimental virtual reality game. I can easily transition it to a full story if its well received. If not I hope atleast one person kinda likes it. P.s. This is a work of fiction, with made up characters. Any likeness is coincidence.
