Hatya said "you're going to regret the day you stood up to me!"
"Just as you will regret the day you threatened my son." Raksha growled in response. Hatya kicked some dust in Raksha's direction in an attempt to blind her. Raksha avoided the dust, before Hatya pounced on her, both of them landing on the short grass.
The two rolled on the ground briefly, Raksha biting Hatya's nape repetitively before the latter swiped her across the face. Raksha stepped back as Hatya swiped, both of them getting onto their hind legs as they struggled.
Hatya snapped her jaws at Raksha, as the wolf used her paws to push the dholes head away from her neck. The dhole growled as she pushed Raksha back and swung her paw, swatting Raksha backwards.
The blow caused some blood to drip from Raksha's mouth onto the ground, Grey seeing this and shouting "mommy!"
Despite her dizziness, Raksha stood her ground, backing up briefly as Hatya swiped at her. She swung her claws back, scratching Hatya across the face. The resulting wounds had joined the claw marks from Bahan to become a three-piece X-shape on Hatya's face.
The dhole recovered quickly as she and Raksha growled. They had both stood their ground, and took blood from the other as a result. Hatya tensed as she felt blood from her face, as Raksha grinned mockingly. This infuriated Hatya, prompting her to jump at Raksha, slapping her paws aside before she could strike a second time.
As Raksha and Hatya fought, Mowgli ran into the jungle, unknowingly being followed by two of the dholes. Raksha backed out as she and Hatya charged head on, the dhole getting the upper hand as she pinned Raksha down and sank her teeth into her nape.
The teeth were not deep enough to be fatal, as Raksha kicked with her hind legs to remove Hatya. Grey quickly came to his mother's aid, biting Hatya's tail. Hatya turned and saw the cub, before kicking him into a rock, allowing a furious Raksha to throw her onto the ground.
Raksha scratched Hatya's leg and waist as Hatya clawed at her stomach, before Raksha bit Hatya on the neck with her sharp teeth, prompting a scream of pain from the dhole. Desperate to escape, Hatya resorted to digging her claws deep into Raksha's hind leg.
Mowgli went to the tree where Bahan was hiding, the cub's face lighting up once she saw him. "Hey you!"
Bahan squealed as she saw the two dholes pouncing behind them. Mowgli held Bahan behind him, but to his surprise, nothing happened. He looked up, only to see Kaa finish swallowing, before turning to face Mowgli and saying "I told you... trussst. Now go! To the temple ruins!"
Back at the battle, Raksha and Hatya fell back in exhaustion, both clawed, bitten and bloodied as they circled each other again.
"I trusted you like FAMILY!" Raksha said as she gripped Hatya's neck and threw her aside.
"My family is gone because of your mancub!" Hatya growled back as she swiped, Raksha deflecting the blow as Hatya added "I fight for the safety of the jungle! To serve the Law of the Jungle!"
The two struggled, their faces inches from each other as Raksha said "you fight for revenge, kill for pleasure! To serve yourself! You're the one who belongs in a cage!"
"That cub will never make it to Water Mountain! And not even you will keep her from me!" Hatya growled as she swatted Raksha down and began clawing and snapping uncontrollably. Raksha narrowly avoided the swipes, before swiping her back leg and clawing deep into Hatya's chest, the dhole backing out in pain.
As the blood dripped from Hatya's chest onto the ground, she said to Raksha "a cheap shot, eh Raksha? Very well."
Hatya jumped at Raksha and bit her leg, before Raksha scratched her hip with her hind leg as she kicked her aside. Raksha charged again and only just managed to duck from Hatya's swiping claws. Hatya tried to kick Raksha with her hind leg, Raksha's dodge causing Hatya to narrowly miss.
Hatya growled as she leaped at Raksha and sank her teeth into her shoulder, the latter growling in pain as she slapped Hatya aside. Both were standing on their hind legs and they clawed and bit each other, both their bright furs being darkened red with blood.
As Hatya continued striking Raksha's injured shoulder and front leg, Raksha was lucky enough to slash Hatya across the chest again, before biting her neck, scratching her back and delivering a strong blow to Hatya's face, blood and teeth flying from the latter's mouth and nose as Raksha took her neck in her teeth and roughly threw her to the ground.
Everyone on both sides was watching as Raksha stood over Hatya, pinning her claws into the dhole's chest wound as she screamed in pain. A few tears fell down Raksha's face as she angrily said "you were like a sister to me, Hatya! I... I loved you."
Raksha removed her paw as Hatya stayed on the ground, exhausted and defeated.
The wolves howled in celebration as Raksha stepped back, before she collapsed in exhaustion. Hatya quickly crept away, before limping into the jungle after Bahan and Mowgli.
Bagheera and Baloo noticed this, before running off into the jungle after her, with Ikki and the other small animals following close behind.
