Thornfur vs Brightfish - Tournament Round 2

[Wolf]

Thornfur (Icestorm) and Brightfish (Lionhearted)

You may begin.

[Icestorm]

Thornfur was proud of himself for making it to the second round, he was also proud of Birdheart for making it. but he also knew this round was going to be harder. After all his opponent made it through the first round too. The large tabby cleared his mind, it was time to fight. He stepped into the clearing, and prepared himself for his fight with Brightfish. She seemed to be small warrior again. Mentally the warrior groaned, her size was going to be a problem again.

Thornfur moved to circle the warrior. He knew he couldn't repeat his first round moves, so quickly the tom thought through how to fight the she-cat. He pounced quickly, his claws unsheathed. The warrior wanted to pin the smaller she-cat, keep her where he could watch her as his claws tried to catch Brightfish's coat.

[Lionhearted]

Brightfish narrowed her eyes, and she had not even taken a breath yet when Thornfur lunged. She hissed, leaping aside, but the tom's claws grazed her flank, and she writhed around, trying to throw him off. However, she only succeeded in twisting herself to the ground. Brightfish ground her teeth, her paw's claws out, aiming to rake Thornfur's head fur.

[Icestorm]

Thornfur felt his claws dig into Brightfish's fur. He had planned to hit her hard with everything he had, but soon he found her claws aiming for his head. He didn't have time to dodge her attack, her claw hitting him. He let out a hiss, moving to bite at her paw that was so close to his face, while trying to rake his claws.

[Lionhearted]

Brightfish saw Thornfur's fangs coming at her, and dodged just in time. She was satisfied to find that her claws found his head. Ha! That'll- ouch! With her attention focused on his jaws, she didn't notice his claws, which pierced her fur. Hissing, she jumped to her paws, and backed up warily. This isn't good. He's pretty even- no wonder he made it to the second round. I'll have to play defensive again. If he does the same, at least it'll be some sort of stalemate.

[Icestorm]

Thornfur was frustrated when his jaws missed her paw. It had been so close, but he was glad that his claws were able to dig in deeper. Either way he had managed to hurt Brightfish in someway. He watched the other warrior carefully as she backed away from him. He had her on the defense. Good, now he just had to keep it up.

The large tabby didn't want to wait. He had to keep moving, had to keep Brightfish on her toes or he would lose the offensive. As his fur bristled, making him looking slightly bigger he moved to attack again. This time the tom aimed to land a hard blow to Brightfish's head. He had to use his size to his advantage here, which meant he had to use his brute force.

[Lionhearted]

Hm. Inwardly, Brightfish smiled. If he was going to use force, then she may as well take advantage of it. She could use her small size to slip back and forth...

His claws flashed towards her head, and she jerked it to the side. Thornfur's claws grazed one side of her face, just missing her left eye. Wincing with the new gash, she dived downwards and aimed for his belly, her claws extended.

[Icestorm]

Thornfur watched as Brightfish moved to dodge his claws, but felt the contact. He wasn't sure where he hit, but he did know it wasn't where he was aiming. He didn't have time to think about it though since his opponent was already diving. He could see what she had planned clear as the sun in the sky, when he felt her claws pushing against his underside he knew he needed to act. Quickly he dropped himself, allowing his weight to hopefully crush her for a moment. To stop any further injury though he rolled to his side, hoping to jack rabbit the smaller she-cat a couple times with his back legs.

[Lionhearted]

"Ow!" Brightfish was suddenly trapped under Thornfur's bulk. However, the weight was lifted as he rolled off. She jumped up just as his legs kicked out, and frowned. He was definitely trying to use his size. He was still rolling, though, so she sliced downwards, trying to aim for his belly fur.
