said. Yeah go on I’ll keep him here.” Snow getting on her hind legs said as Shadow jumped upward to a ledge and jumped to another. “Aww you’re going to stall me while he goes to fight Kadaj eh. Good, play time.” Nomak said getting on his hind legs and changing into his Lycan form covering himself in earth. Snow blinked as Nomak pulsed right in her face. Snow blocked a slash and a punch but the slash dug into her skin and Snow pulled back. Seeing this Nomak punched her in the stomach, not giving her time to cough from the attack backhander her. Recovering slightly Snow with an ice covered paw struck Nomak in the chin but the ice shattered. “What, is that all the strength you muster?” Nomak said before moving her paw and side kicking her. Snow flew back hitting the rocky wall. Meanwhile Shadow had made it to the top of the cliff. “What the heck?” Shadow said seeing a beam of light. Great let’s wrap this thing up. Shadow thought as he hovered into the beam taking him to the same place he was in but instead the ground was white and the rain was black. “Brother, we found it at last.” Kadaj said on a high cliff. “Wait how did you two get in here? You needed all three of our powers to open this portal?” Shadow asked. “Remember that scar you gave me in your Lycan from? Turns out that had just enough of your energy to open it.” Kadaj answered. “So, what happens now?” Shadow asked getting on his hind legs. “Oh don’t ask me dude, ask Raiko. I’m only here to kick your butt.” Kadaj said. Shadow chuckled. “What’s so funny?” Kadaj asked getting on his hind legs. “I figured that Raiko wouldn’t tell, but of course exiles wouldn’t really know the plan.” Shadow said.  “So what if we’ve been exiled.” Kadaj said the blue lightning in his paw turning purple. “As long as I get to kill you brother.” Kadaj said changing into his Lycan from Shadow doing the same. “I COULD’NT CARE LESS!” Kadaj shouted sending a large wave a blood red lighting at Shadow.  Outside of the portal at the entrance to the Fire clan’s territory Rose was back in her regular from bleeding heavily but not giving up. “Ugh come on how many of them are there?” Rose said dodging a blade and slashing a reaper behind her. At the same time two reapers slashed her and another kicked her. Rose landed on the ground in pain. “Darn it…I…I can’t protect anyone.” Rose said struggling to stand as ten reapers charged at her. Hang on Silver I’ll be with you soon my love.  Rose thought as waited for death the reapers blade piercing her heart. Suddenly it stopped. “Your giving up already? Come Rose, I thought you were stronger than that.” A voice said. Rose opened her pink eyes slowly. “No way, it can’t be?” Rose said.   Meanwhile Snow and Nomak were still fighting. Even in her Lycan form Snow could not find a way to harm Nomak with that earth shield on. “Come on now it’s now that hard is it.” Nomak said sending a large earth spike at her. Snow pulsed to avoid it but when she stopped Nomak was right in her face and punched her sending her to the ground. “You said you didn’t want to play last time we fought. Or is this really the limit to the ice clan?” Nomak taunted. Snow got on her hind legs again. “Remind me to thank my father would you? Even though my body is screaming in pain I can still move…LET”S GO!” Snow said running toward Nomak. Nomak bent low moving his paw in a come on motion. Snow slashed at him twice but he dodged both and grabbed her by the throat lifting her in the air with one paw. Snow struggled and clawed at his paw only to have Nomak toss to the ground. “Well I guess that is the limit.” Nomak said. Snow kneeled on the ground as Nomak walked to her. “After I beat you down were going to have some fun.” Nomak said raising his paw.  Just because one element is the opposite of another doesn’t mean it can’t work the other way around. Snow thought remembering Shadow’s words. Time slowed as Nomak’s paw came toward her. Snow sent her own paw at him. The paws crashed into each other, suddenly Nomak staggered backwards holding his paw which was frozen then melted and left him with mud. “What! What the fuzz is this? What did you do to my earth shield you little bastard?” Nomak said. “Well now it is true, just because water takes out fire doesn’t always mean it will work sometimes fire can be to strong. So if I can’t take your shield on the outside I’ll take it from the inside.” Snow said. Nomak growled understanding what she was explaining while shaking the mud off and recoating with earth. “Now that I understand what Shadow said this will be interesting.” Snow said charging. Nomak blocked a punch but at the same time Snow touched his side then punched it hard.  Nomak staggered back kneeling as blood came out of his mouth. “So what’s in that portal?” Snow asked. “Why would tell you that if I haven’t lost.” Nomak answered getting up slowly.  “Don’t delude yourself Nomak it’s over.” Snow said. “Heh I don’t think Rose told you, I don’t die so easy.” Nomak said recoating his side with earth. “Then I’m just going to have to play with you a bit more until you tell me.” Snow said. “Ha, ha, ha, what a relief I was worried you didn’t you like playing around, I so glad our paths crossed.” Nomak said. Snow growled lightly. Nomak gave her a smirk brown eyes glowing. Snow made an ice spike on her right arm. “So, ready for the Alpha?” Nomak started taking an attack stance. “Of the Omega!” Snow finished charging at him. Snow swung at him twice but he dodged jumping back. Nomak charged at her and slashed and kicked. Snow dodged both attacks spun and smacked him with her tail. Nomak staggered back slightly. Taking this chance Snow touched his chest freezing the inside of his shield. Nomak slashed at her but she spun to avoid it. Coming back around she drove her arm spike toward his chest, but Nomak did the same. The two wolves stood there their spike forced through each other. Suddenly Nomak pulled back and kneeled. “Man didn’t think the shield had a hole too it.” Nomak said looking up at her. “You’re pretty good.” Nomak said before bending back all the way. Snow went back to all fours and walked slowly toward the cliff. “Hang on Shadow I’m coming.” Snow said vision getting blurry before falling to the ground blood coming out of her wounds. I love you. Snow thought before closing her eyes.  In the portal Shadow felt something was wrong. “Don’t space out bro.” Kadaj said sending a bolt of lightning at him. Shadow pulsed away from it and onto a ledge. “Time to end this.” Kadaj said jumping back. Shadow pulsed where he was and struck him only to had Kadaj grab him slam him into and wall and shock him with lightning. “Come on, die.” Kadaj said seeing him flinch at little. “Come on.” Kadaj said increasing its power changing purple which caused Shadow groan. “COME ON!” Kadaj shouted increasing it even more changing it red which caused Shadow to cry out as his fur started burning. “Yeah there you go, now just DIE!” Kadaj shouted. Suddenly Shadow covered his body in flame and Kadaj jumped back. “So you wanna play like that huh?” Kadaj said doing the same thing except with lightning covering him. In the blink of an eye the two beowolf brothers were attacking each other with such force that shock waves were forming where they struck. Shadow shot multiple fire balls at Kadaj which a dodged with ease pulsed right in Shadow face and kicked him in the stomach sending him flying toward a wall.  Shadow put his legs toward the wall and sprung forward toward Kadaj. “Too obvious.” Kadaj said sending a bolt of lightning at him. Shadow pulsed behind him but Kadaj sent a bolt behind him too. Shadow then reappeared above him and came down with a swift kick. “That wasn’t.” Shadow smirked. “I’m done playing with you Shadow.” Kadaj said pulsing toward him from all directions and striking Shadow until he stopped Kadaj by stabbing him with a flame paw. “That won’t work!” Kadaj said pushing his paw aside about to finish him. Instantly Shadow closed his paw and Kadaj exploded into flames before falling to the ground. “Brother.” Kadaj said weakly changing back to his regular form. Shadow changed back also before seeing a beowolf necklace floating at the top of the cliff. He pulsed toward it to grab it but Raiko did also and they both ripped it in half and landed on the cliff. “Shadow, give that to me.” Raiko said holding his paw out. “Nah you got your half of it.” Shadow said putting it around his neck. “Well I want yours too.” Raiko said getting on his hind legs. “Tch and what are you going to do with all that power, no matter how hard you try you’ll never be like our ancestors.” Shadow said. “YOUR WASTING TIME!” Raiko said charging at him flame sword created. The two struck at each other at the same time and held each other blades flesh burning from them. “We are the sons of Takemaru, within the three of us flows his blood but more importantly his soul!” Shadow said as they both pushed each other back. “And now my soul is saying it wants to stop you!” Shadow said. Raiko laughed. “It’s too bad our souls are at odds Shadow, I told since we were born, I need more power.” Raiko said clenching his paw. “And were supposed too be brothers.” Shadow said taking a defense stance. “Brothers, right.” Raiko said doing the same. Instantly Shadow pulsed right were he was and struck Raiko in the face. Raiko unfazed grabbed Shadow by the throat, lifted him up and let go. Before Shadow’s rear paws could touch the ground Raiko punched him straight in the stomach. Time slowed as Shadow opened his mouth spit came out before he was sent flying almost off the cliff. “Tch I’m not even trying Shadow, come on now are you still that weak? Raiko said walking toward Shadow.  “Or was that talk about stopping me just a bluff?” Raiko said stopping. “No it wasn’t a bluff; I’m just not trying either.” Shadow said getting up and stretching his neck.  “So then let’s get serious.” Raiko said eyes turning black.
