Parting is such sweet sorrow.
Blood. That was all Kiba could smell as his fang's sunk into another man's neck. The wolf twisted his body, dodging the gun fire that sent ice crystals spiralling into the grey sky.
Kiba looked side ways to check on how his pack was handling in the battle. Tsume was beating his opponents with great skill, as could be expected from the reasonable wolf. Tsume grabbed one of the attacking wolfs and flung the smaller male to the side. The wolf crashed into two of the human fighters' legs sending all three warriors spinning on to the ice in a tangle of legs, claws and guns. The scared male launched himself onto one of the tanks as bullets ricochet around him. Moss, one of the major wolves' in Sali's pack copied Tsume's motion and landed in front of Tsume.
Moss and Tsume quickly blocked out the frozen world as they fought, neither of the wolves let the other one rest there guard as more screams of humans resounded into the air when Blue shredded their legs.
The she-wolf watched as her prey fell to the arctic floor. Blue snapped their necks quickly. The honest wolf-dog tried her best to kill these people quickly. Blue had carried her fondness for humans to the grave and then allowed it to be reborn once again inside of her. No matter what Blue did she tried not to make the humans suffer a slow and painful death.
Two wolves ganged up on Blue. Blue ran swiftly between them, her small size giving her the advantage against the Timber wolves. The larger of the two wolves followed Blue, his chestnut fur blurring as he matched her speed. Their claws slipped on the ice but will power alone stopped the two opposing wolves from falling. Blue jumped as Tsume and Moss went into her path. She dodged her friend at the last second but her chaser did not. He slammed into the two older males. Tsume quickly righted himself and took on both of the wolves that were lying at his feet.
Blue rushed forward and jumped, clamping her jaws around a man's neck. The blood and snow swirled around her body as the wind picked up, the tiny white flakes and blood petals made Blue's fur fade into her surroundings, creating a surreal image as the red-haired man fell into his snowy grave.
Hige, rather distracted by Blue's beauty, jumped to attention as another gun was emptied at the Mexican wolf. Hige sighed raced to his attacker and snatched the gun in his jaws and crushed the barrel. The armoured human ran backwards trying to escape the large lupine. Hige ran past the frightened person then turned behind him and attacked from the back severing the spinal column where the armour was the thinnest.
Hige hopped over the corpse but was hit by another wolf. Hige skidded on the ice before hitting an ice-covered rock. Hige got to his feet, quite pissed that someone could be so rude as to hit him with such force and while he was busy no less. The rude someone was the reborn wolf named Cole, the she-wolf that had brought him food after the pack had found refuge in a graveyard in the city they had reached after leaving freeze city.
"Cole?" Hige pricked his ears, "It's great to see you." Hige paused as a loud growl shook the female's too thin body. Hige pulled back his ears. He owed Cole allot from saving him from starvation and offering valuable Intel in their past life, but he couldn't refuse a fight when this was a battlefield. Cole took a step towards Hige, her hackles raised.
Hige cocked his head, Cole's body language said she wanted to fight but her eyes betrayed her. Cole jumped at Hige landing on his back on biting his shoulder cruelly. Hige yelped and bucked, flinging Cole off his back. Hige reluctantly ran at her, teeth bared. The fight between the two wolves was viscous but Hige had realised this far into the fight, that this pack of wolves was not fighting because they wanted to, but rather because they had too.
Toboe turned in time to see another truck trying to run him over. Toboe sighed sadly and jumped onto the car's roof. His claws left scratches on the covering of the black vehicle, but Toboe doubted the driver cared. The car skidded to a halt and the driver's door opened and a man jumped out and started firing blindly at the young wolf.
Toboe jumped on the man and snapped his neck. The reddish wolf winced at the cracking sound. Toboe ran away from the corpse as a woman jumped into his path and swung the barrel of her gun at his head. Toboe jumped out of the way and launched at the women. The black-haired female dodged Toboe and took out her small hand gun and fired off a round of silver bullets. Toboe dodged most of them but a stray one hit him in the leg. Toboe ran passed the women with his tail in the air. He quickly head butted her legs. As the women slipped Toboe shredded her throat with his sharp claws.
Toboe left the bleeding women as he ran to see if anyone needed help. His bracelets jingled lightly on his leg and it reminded Toboe that there were some good people left in the world. The Red wolf ran passed Kuro who was currently fighting two wolves.
The chocolate palomino slipped every few steps on the hoarfrost. The mare flicked her ears back and kicked out as one of the wolves tried to grab her back legs. Kuro hit the wolf dead on in the nose before slamming her front hoof onto the other wolf's head breaking its skull open and sending red ribbons flying everywhere.
The military trained horse cantered on the ice avoiding all the carnage lying on the floor. From what Kuro could see the pack had the upper hand although they were outnumbered. Kuro jumped over and ice block and skidded to a stop when she realised she was surrounded by the cars.
Kuro was trapped by the cars; a net joined the cars together in one circle. A woman stepped up on to one of the cars and pointed a gun at the trapped Equine's head. The surviving humans all ran to the cars as the lady holding the gun spoke up, "Kuro, I believe Darcia is looking for your sorry hide. My Lady told me we must capture you and use you for a peace offering."
Kuro snorted at the speech. The wolves turned to watch the scene unfolding behind the nets. Kuro stomped her voice on the spider webbed ice and shook her mane, "I am aware of you technology allowing you to communicate with animals but you don't honestly think some dingy machine will let you convince me to go back to the danmed military?"
The machine allowing ordinary people to communicate with animals had been designed by Nobles to let their subjects to converse with their mounts and hounds.
"I will take you by force if I must Kuro." The woman said holding up her hand. The vehicles started moving on signal making the enclosure smaller. Kuro dropped her head and snorted, "Kiba." Kiba looked at his old friend, "Run." Kuro said calmly.
"We won't run. I may not like you but that is no reason to abandon you!" Tsume snarled. The wolves moved closer to the captured horse, the other pack of wolves standing beside their fallen comrades. Cole lay on the floor gasping for air but she was still alive.
"That's not what I meant, Tsume." Kuro said her voice shaking a bit, "You were right the ice cannot hold me."
"What!" Blue cried just as the ice cracked. The woman on top of the car was flung forward and smashed head first into Kuro. The white-mane horse looked over at the petrified human, "I am not returning to the military...and neither are you." Kuro reared up slipping on the quickly disappearing ice and smashed her hoof onto the woman's head. The female human's blood joined the poppy red marks already covering Kuro's coat.
"Kuro!" The pack cried racing to the crumbling ice. The cars fell into the icy water. The humans inside tried to abandon the death cells but drowned due to their heavy clothing. Kuro resurfaced the water. Her mane plastered to her neck and her body wracked in shivers. Corpses, cars and screaming people tumbled in to water.
Kuro's breath made cloudy circles in the air. Toboe jumped into the water, urging the horse to swim to the ice covered shore. Kuro ground her teeth at the young wolf and flung him out of the water. "Kuro!" Kiba yelled jumping back as the ice cracked under his paws.
Kuro gave another weak snort. The mare's joints went stiff and she slowly sunk under the blood stained water. The wolves watched in horror as the battlefield fell into the oceans depths. Kuro's heavy body landed on the mud below. The sub-zero water quickly took effect and suffocated her final breath out of her lungs.
