You're not planning to overthrow me, are you?

It was Dan's turn to grin.

- Oh, you're a genius. - he said, with equal irony, and stopped smiling - It's your choice, Ohanzee. Give up or fight.

Ohanzee laughed.

- Do you really think this small group of yours can beat my fighters? - he boasted. – Fool, I chose each of them myself. They are the elite of this pack. I had just sent those idiots for a hunt just to let them die and get us rid of their incompetence! – he looked at the wolves that had joined Dan.

- Wanna bet? – the hybrid replied.

- It will be a pleasure to see you and your group of fools die.

- I tried to make it peacefully, but you chose the defeat. – Dan said, meaning to make Ohanzee angry.

It worked. Ohanzee looked angry at him as he turned back and walked back to his group.

- We'll see about that, Half-breed. – the black wolf said before walking back inside the cave with his minions.

Back to his position, Dan turned to his pack.

- This is it, guys. Ohanzee is not going to step down willingly. It's up to us to take him down by ourselves. Are you with me?! - he yelled so everyone could hear him. Tens of howls came in answer. - Now let's fight! For our freedom! - the howls continued, until they heard Ohanzee's group coming down the cliff.

They all got startled. From the top of the inclined cliff, what it looked to be fifty wolves started to walk down. Surely Ohanzee had joined more survivors from his conquers than he had told. The enemy group took positions in a single group, approaching down the place looking like a threatening dark cloud. "Looks like Ohanzee is so confident that he made no strategy", Dan thought. He smiled inside. That was the advantage he was wishing for his plan. Ohanzee's group advanced randomly to Dan's, which was in front of the others, getting closer and closer.

- Get ready! – the alpha screamed to his group. When the enemy group was close enough… - CHARGE!

His group advanced ferociously, with many roars and growls. The two groups encountered with many thuds and eventual ripping sounds. The fight had begun. Dan killed many enemy wolves. The beast that had been awakened when he fought Ohanzee hadn’t been triggered, but he was still a fierce fighter. He bit, clawed, ripped… With some short time of fight, his mouth and paws were soaked with blood. He had received some strikes too. His back was covered with light cuts of enemy attempts to claw him. His neck was lightly hurt too after a particularly big brown wolf bit him. He eventually clawed strongly the big wolf’s throat to break free and bit him back, killing him. His bandage had been taken off by the killed wolf’s teeth. The wolves from Dan's pack were fighting and killing, but holding their positions, what let Ohanzee's wolves confused. One of their leaders looked around, and understood what they were planning

- They’re surrounding us! – he screamed, realizing what was happening.

All of Ohanzee's wolves were now surrounded by a circle of wolves from Dan’s other groups. Slowly they were being defeated, and the circle was closing in.

- Adahy! Now! – Dan alerted loudly.

After Dan's order, Adahy's group stormed to the cliff's lower caves, but stopped when other wolves from Ohanzee's pack got out to defend their stronghold. Luna realized that.

- Go, Yiska! – she screamed.

Yiska was with the special group Dan had chosen. It was their secret weapon. They were distant from the main groups for Ohanzee's wolves not to see them while they climbed the cliff from the other side. They were at the top, dropping rocks on Ohanzee's defense group, killing some, hurting others. With this advantage, when the rock rain stopped, Adahy and his group took out the remaining enemies and invaded the caves, conquering the fortress. Dan got out of the battle, and observed his plan working. He smiled with his assured victory, but then he frowned. Where was Ohanzee? His question was quickly answered when he smelled that hateful scent close by.

- Looking for me? – a voice said behind him.

Dan turned back and was tackled down, seing just a mass of black fur. He got almost terrified when he realized he was fallen, with his stomach up, and Ohanzee was on him, with his paw on Dan's neck, and his evil grin on his face.

- You are doomed. - he laughed lowly. – Even if your pack wins, you lose.
