Wolverine was flattened to the ground on his stomach by the force of the attack. He didn't need to see to know who it was, his keen sense of smell told him immediately. "Sabretooth," He said under his breath, but was cut off by a blow to the back of his head.

Gambit who had been walking near by heard the commotion and ran over to see what it was. He hid behind a small bush watching the fight. He automatically knew that Sabretooth was the creature on top but he couldn't make out the figure underneath him. Civilians and trees crowded his sight.

Sabretooth was flung off Wolverine and slammed into a near by tree. The tree shook and dropped a handful of leaves onto him. He stood and grabbed for a fallen branch. Wolverine bared his claws and stared at Sabretooth.

Gambit crouched under the bush when he noticed who Sabretooth's opponent was. He tightened his grip on his staff and peered out again.

Wolverine lunged his body toward the enemy with his claws out in front. But, Sabretooth rolled out of the way of the attack and leaped up with one of his own, he swung the branch he was holding at Wolverine's head. Wolverine ducked and slid into Sabretooth's front leg, knocking him on his back.

Gambit rose to get a better look at things and readied a card. His coat blew behind him in the wind.

Sabretooth stood and clenched his fists around the branch he had used as a weapon. He charged forward with the stick out in front of him. Wolverine side stepped, grabbed the back of Sabretooth's head, and sent him flying toward the river. Sabretooth dropped his stick and smashed into the wooden rail on the arched bridge.

Gambit started shoving through the crowd of people to see what had happened. He noticed Sabretooth landed pretty hard and wasn't moving or even attempting to move, he just laid there on his back.

Wolverine started charging at his arch-enemy with an open mouth and muscles bulging. Veins seemed to pop out of his head and arms. He dove at his fallen foe and landed on top of him.

Now! Thought Gambit, it was his chance to reduce his opponents by two of his most powerful enemies. He flung his card at the center of the bridge where both mutants were laying injured. The bridge burst into millions of tiny splinters, followed by a loud splash! Smoke collected around the crowd of by standers who watched the fight, blinding them. Gambit knew enough to lay as flat as possible on his stomach to avoid choking.

The smoke cleared and there was no sign of Sabretooth, Maybe that's what the huge splash was about, Gambit thought. Wolverine lay motionless on the other side of the river.
