" So they decided to fall back, didn't they?" Balro said to himself. " Send Fang in. He is, desperate for revenge. I think that he can do some good in this assault." The panther turned and ordered to an ox commander. The ox quickly bowed and went on his way.
" What do you have for me, Marron?" Balro asked himself again, gazing onto the battle in front of him.
An axe handle swung, knocking a red-wearing wolf out, sent his teeth flying. An arrow whizzed through the air, plunging at a black-wearing leopard.
" Fall back!" Shouted the stern voice of Borva behind the fighting chaotic men. The black-wearing soldiers hastily ran back into the cave, archers kept firing out, covering their retreat. In seconds, only Kann remained.
" KANN! GET IN!" Shouted Marron, while dodging an arrow, Garon quickly returned the favor, killing the archer.
" I'll hold them off! You guys take the time to brace yourselves!" Kann yelled back.
" KANN!" Yelled Po, sticking his head out of the entrance, drawing the white wolf's attention, " be careful." The panda warned, smiling.
" Sure I will" Kann smiled back, reassuring his friend, then turned, throwing some ice shards, killing a few more, then charged towards the advancing troops.
Behind him, soldiers were organizing blockades and setting traps, archers were in place, spearmen were ready, weapons were drawn.
Song woke up from her slumber, drowsily wiped her eyes. She sat up slowly, bringing her legs to the side of the bed, then lit the candle, then saw on the table, there were her break fast and a cup of tea, holding down a piece of paper. Curious, she slowly took the piece of paper out from under the cup. She took a sip of tea, reading the paper. It said:
"Dear Song,
The boss sent me to a, um, rather important mission. So, I'm sorry I wasn't spooking you this morning. Ha hah, so, I'll see you later. Here's your break fast.
Yours, Balro."
Song stopped reading, she put the cup down, she felt something inside. Something was wrong.
" Where are you now?" She asked, not knowing who to care for.
Kann threw a series of ice shards, killing five, then spun and swung his flame, killing five more. He blocked a sword by his ice-covered hand, then brought his flaming left to the swordsman, burning the wolf's face. Then Kann clashed his ice sword with an axe, stepped on the rhino's thigh and kneed him in the face. Kann kicked in the rhino's stomach, flipping backwards. Then he realized that he was surrounded. Spears were pointed towards him, and shields, swords, and axes were dead ready. Kann broke a smile.
" It's time that I embrace the power of my land, isn't it?" Kann asked, then extinguished his flame sword, but not the ice brought his arms together in front of his chest, summoning the power within. Suddenly, he swung his arms out, all covered by ice, pointing at the surrounding troops. He looked left, then right, then smiled. The white wolf then mustered his strength, jumped high up in the air, then he back flipped, turning around. When he landed, the white wolf slammed his hands against the ground, immediately, thousands of icy spikes came thrusting out of the ground, surprising all of his enemy. But as soon as they realized what happened, they were impaled through the guts, the torsos, killing them instantly. what's left of the three legions were all dead. Only one white wolf remained still in the middle of the deathly site.
Kann breathed. The trick had drained a lot of his energy. He felt tired, depleted. He looked up, seeing his *work*.
" This should buy them some time." Kann said, standing up slowly. But the danger wasn't gone. Out of nowhere, a fist came at Kann's face, sending the white wolf flying through a tree.
" But this won't buy you some." Fang said, retracting his fist. " You know Kann, you should have killed me when you had the chance." The white tiger said, smiling devilishly. The tiger drew the Blood Drawer, " Oh, and I haven't thank you for giving me this magnificent weapon. It suits my, well, *hunger*."
" You were lucky I didn't go all out on you, Fang." Kann warned, standing up weakly.
" Oh, so, *all out* was the thing you did back there?" Fang stopped, laughing mockingly, " I gotta admit, that was pretty powerful. And now, can you do that again? I doubt it greatly." Fang grinned at him.
" Cut the crap! Come on and fight me!" Kann taunted, tired of the white tiger's words.
" Then, let us begin." Fang replied, then charged. Kann charged towards him, too, his fire and ice swords are back, and the two crashed their weapons together. A loud BANG escaped.
" Fang is already in the battle, sir. But I'm afraid the three legions are dead." A wolf commander reported to Balro, kneeling.
" Three legions. And one frost wolf. He is one powerful descendant." Balro commented, then turned to face his underling, " Send in the rest."
" Yes sir." The wolf replied, then quickly went to spread the order. Balro were left with his two rhinos commanders. The panther turned again, facing the battle field.
" Sir, I doubt that Fang will do any good in this attack. He doesn't follow-" A rhino exclaimed, then quickly were cut off by a slicing dagger, cutting his throat. Then another just came for the other rhino, killing him instantly. Balro, however, stood still, calmly.
" You guys should have come in a little more early." Balro said. Then he turned, facing the Roudens.
" What are you doing here, Balro? I thought you were spying on Blackthorn following Marron's orders." A Rouden asked.
" I am. The man sent me here. To test my leadership and loyalty." Balro replied.
" Alright, so our plans is all in place? Anything new?" Another Rouden asked.
" They found the Frost Banshees." Balro coldly replied, earning a few gasps among the Roudens.
" MY GODS! This must get to Marron's ears at once!" A Rouden claimed.
" Yes it must. Go now, and leave me to my place. I don't want them to doubt any of my actions." Balro said, the Roudens just nodded, faces tensed, and they disappeared as quickly as they came.
"Arh." Kann growled when he was sent to another tree, breaking it. Fang laughed, mocking the white wolf's efforts. Kann spat out blood, growling, then stood up quickly readying for another attack. Fang charged again, kicking Kann in the torso. The wolf blocked it with his wrists,shoving Fang away, then turned and jump-kicked the tiger in the face. Fang quickly jumped up to his feet and hooked Kann with a left, then a right to the stomach. Kann blocked another left, elbowed the tiger, and then headbutted him, dazzing Fang. The white wolf charged, but was caught by Fang's flying knee, sending him to the ground. Kann groaned, then Fang stepped one foot onto his torso.
" Don't try so hard. You know you can't defeat me. That's why you used that cheap freezing trick to trap me." Fang said, reaching for his sword, " Now, I think you would be better off dead."
Just as the tiger finished his sentence, an arrow whizzed to his hand, making him drop the sword with a wince. Turning back, Fang was caught with a powerful kick in the face from Sun Mei, knocking the tiger up. Then Po jumped in and hit him with a lotus palm, then Crane came catching the tiger by the shoulders and slung him up in the sky. Then Viper and Shen plung to the tiger, using their tails to send him down hard. Fang groaned while the group of heroes were surrounding Kann.
" Beat it, you son of a bitch!" Yelled Tigress to the tiger.
" Yeah! Get out of here! Or you'll know why they chose me as the Dragon Warrior." Po exclaimed.
" Still rely on your friends I see." Fang mocked, standing up, " We'll meet another day." Fang said, turning back. Then he glanced at his sword, it was stained with a few drop of blood. Kann's blood. The white tiger smiled, then rushed through the woods, quickly disappeared.
" Are you ok?" Shen asked his dear friend, worried.
" HAH! This won't kill me. Just-" Kann flinched while getting to his feet, " Just give me some time to rest."
" Ok, come on now buddy. We'll take care of ya!" Po said, supporting Kann's right arm.
" Thank you." Kann commented weakly, then passed out, limb on Po and Tigress's shoulders.
