Udyr x Nidalee

It was a cold, dark night in the jungle of Ionia. It had been so many years since the day that Udyr had left the Ionians to be ruthlessly attacked by Noxus. Udyr had no pity, for the path he was walking was one he could only walk alone, or so he thought….

Udyr had everything in Ionia, but he soon gave that all up so he could train his senses, and one day seek revenge on the Ice Witch: Lissandra. Revenge for the Spirit Walker is the only thing Udyr lives for now, and he has thrown everything aside that may get in the way of achieving that.

It was an hour and a half until midnight, and Udyr was meditating out in the wild near a spot where the moon shines the brightest. He could hear the howling gale of the spirits calling him, and he answered their call. It was a sight that reminded Udyr every single day why he gave up everything. Udyr had grown to live on his own, occasionally talking to his alter ego spirits and referring to himself as multiple persons. Udyr spoke out, saying: "I shall become stronger, to kill the Ice Witch. We will not tolerate those who take away the lives of others who did nothing wrong."

Upon saying this, he heard a noise from around a bush. Udyr thought it was just a harmless animal that shouldn't interrupt his meditation. However, the next moment, Udyr looked over his shoulder and saw a Javelin aimed right at his head. Udyr caught the Javelin with two fingers, stood up, and said out loud: "Show yourself, coward. You can't sneak up on that who is one with nature."

A second later, it was Nidalee, the bestial hunter, who attempted to kill Udyr. She gave Udyr a grim look, and said "This is my jungle, spirit walker. Leave this place, or I might not miss your skull next time."

Udyr saw this not as a warning, but as a challenge. He took the spear, and broke it in half with his fist. Udyr said: "Weapons are for the weak, Cougar. Fight me, and we shall see who is best fit for the jungle." Nidalee was the first to react, and ran straight at Udyr with her claws out. Udyr summoned the turtle, and deflected every one of Nidalee's claw attempts. Udyr landed a devastating strike on Nidalee's chest, and she fell flat on her back. Udyr noticed with his soul presence another soul in the area. This soul wasn't any ordinary soul either: it had remarkable senses, and stamina. Nidalee got up, and growled. "You should focus on your opponent during battle. Disregarding your location is the easiest way to die." Udyr noticed quickly he was right under a trap set by Nidalee, but he was slow to react. Udyr stepped on the Bushwhack, and tripped over the log behind him. Nidalee laughed, and said: "He who is not aware of their surroundings does not deserve the wild. Let's see who the real beast is." Nidalee then transformed into her inner beast: the Cougar.

Something was wrong in Udyr's mind: When he shifted his focus on the soul that was approaching combat, he heard not a single noise or had any sight on anyone close to the area. Could it be a mind trick? A fake soul, perhaps? Udyr tried to focus on battle, but still did not feel right. Unleashing the tiger, Udyr said: "Tiger beats Cougar. This will end it, Nidalee." Udyr was fast, but Nidalee was twice as fast, and landed multiple claws all over Udyr's body. Udyr kept on fighting off, and managed to land one successful blow. He then continued to follow up, and now Nidalee was the one losing the fight. As a last resort, Nidalee tried to bite Udyr's neck, but Udyr was one step ahead, and caught Nidalee by the tail. Udyr slammed Nidalee against a rock, and she fell unconscious. With pride, Udyr said: "No one shall overcome our ultimate goal. Not the Cougar, not Ionia, not ANYONE."

At the end of the fight, Udyr turned on his soul presence again, and was shocked at what he saw: Nidalee, the Bestial Huntress, had two souls. When Nidalee got up from her failed attempt at fighting Udyr one on one, the inner demon inside Nidalee was summoned to fight Udyr. Udyr barely got out with his life, but he knew this would not be the last time he would see that beast.

When Udyr realized this, he was filled with fear, and the memories of his past:

"Forty years ago, Udyr was with his master on the training grounds. Udyr's master, the Spirit Walker wanted to show him the power of the bear, and Udyr successfully pulled it off. However, in the midst of training, The Pridestalker Rengar showed up, and relentlessly attacked Udyr. Rengar told the Spirit Walker: "Give him up to a real predator like me, unless you want him to become dinner for real beasts in the wild." Udyr's master had no choice, but to release the inner demon within him. He killed Rengar in a moment's notice, but it took him a while to lose his dying rage for blood. Udyr was scared senseless, as his master just transformed into an unearthly beast. The Spirit Walker knew it would be hard for Udyr to overcome that feeling. Was Udyr really going to become a demon like his master? Luckily, for the next few years, the Spirit Walker taught him in depth how to control his rage. The Spirit Walker told Udyr: "You will find many beasts in your lifetime that have what is called 'Katai Tenma' or roughly translated, 'inner demon.' You must not let their rage take control of their body, otherwise nature will continuously reproduce such demons, and the world will fill with chaos that could eventually lead to the destruction of the elder spirits. Do not let this happen, Udyr. I have my ultimate trust you will not fail me…"

What Udyr was scared of is the fact that Nidalee only changed into a semi-fearful Cougar, whereas his master turned into a voracious boar. If her demon was let out to the fullest, it would be terrible for the jungle. Udyr could not let that happen.
