Daiku started thinking up battle plans, They had them, one more strike from the groundwolves and victory was theirs, but force alone woud not win, For Kyluka knew how Granger worked, she knew his tricks and instantly began preparing her troops to combat them, "Lets move men, We may not have much time." Gazing out torwards the hole
Granger made, she wondered, "Where did you go Granger?" with that she pulled her men into the water, a few water benders knew how to use the water to heal themselves, one was quick and very effective at it ad given a medic type position. "heal up men, and hold to the water, they stand no chance against us if they come into here. She remembered Daiku and Xinals trick to conduct electricity and shock them all. She smiled to herself, "That was brilliant, and a wonderful tactic, half of Grangers forces basically we're KOed from it."

Vixen blinked, her eyes darting from object to object, before resting on the water where the wolves were healing. She turned her head to Xinal. "What if we somehow led them into the water and used the Alpha of the wind wolves to shock them?" It was a slim chance, Vixen knew. The Alpha for one maybe couldn't shock the whole lake, and two, how could they lead the ground wolves to their defeat that easily?

She sighed.

"What if we somehow led them into the water and used the Alpha of the wind wolves to shock them?"

Xinal shook his head as he heard Vixen's idea. "We need a different plan." He sighed as he too went into the water to let himself cool and let the water soothe his aching muscles, "It would be very hard to get them to leap into the water so soon after the first tactic using that." He looked up at the crest to see the band of Ground Wolves looking down at them. Amongst them, he saw a dark wolf, Not one he recognized before. However the air there was very hot and the view of the wolf was disorted. "Am I seeing things? Who is that?" He asked himself.

Daiku got a big grin on his face before flying into Grangers hole, eventually he returned with a bigger grin, "Hey guys, I've got a ingenious plan!!!"

Xinal approached Daiku after wading through the water for a few moments gathering his strength. When he stopped beside the hole Granger was once in, he wondered what Daiku had in mind as he peered inside. "It's a bit caved in down there." He commented looking up. "What's your plan?"

Daiku Grinned, "You see, we can't pull them into the water, but i can move the water to them! they try to burn it into steam, the steam will burn them to death and there fire will deplete all oxygen, and i can use my wind bending to keep oxygen from getting back to them."

Xinal nodded as he understood the concept of the plan. "However, we can't forget about Granger." Xinal barked, not knowing of recent events. "he has the power of fire, and so naturally he can neutralize it." He turned to look up at the others. "This is dragging on longer than I'd imagine."

Vixen flattened an ear in agreement with Xinal. This was taking way too long. Suddenly her ears pricked in realization, and she turned to the two males. "What if we provoked them and they ran forward to attack? We could cut off Granger while Diaku goes on with his plan with the rest of them. After that, we only have to worry about Granger. And between the three of us, it shouldn't be a challenge to take him on ourselves."

It was a long shot, but the best plan they could have at the moment.

Xinal sat down while waiting, "Then gain, we should keep an eye to our rear." He muttered his specualtion. "He is known for those kinds of tactical maneuvers."

The charred wolf looked down formulating his plan. The cliff provided a bird's eye view of the battlefield and so here he was planning his moves. Like a chessmaster at his greatest match, here he was taking his time brooding over the next possible turn of events. A new plann suddenly hatched in his mind. "Beta!" He barked, keeping his eye on the field. The Beta Wolf leader who had assumed command in Granger's absence approached, "Yes sir?"

"Call the sub unit Theta group. I have a task for them."

The beta wolf's expression was puzzled as he was given the order, "Who are the Theta wolves sir?" The burning eyes, darkened by the black ember fur that surrounded them, turned to glare icicles at the wolf.

"Get the wolves best at Aerial assaults, you wormbrain!" He turned to look back at the battlefield, his mind brooding once more.

Daiku quickly began more plans, should there first fail they'd need a backup , and bad. By the moment many injured wolves were losing there strength and Granger could only be getting tougher. "Lets provoke them! but try to to get to far, staying in the water is our best hope for now."

Granger waited as the Theta group approached him. When he turned to adress them, his eyes were colder than ever before. "Launch rock and dust to that field." He barked with a nod of his head, "We are going to cover that water supply with earth so that they will be less able to counter attack, do it now!"

The Theta unit lead nodded his head and barked a signal for all the wolves to follow his lead. He slammed his tail into the ground making lose the eath that was below him. Afterwards he he spun around to slam his paws into that sending the soft, grainy, earth and soil up into the air along with rocks and boulders on a ballistic trajectory along the air. This was fellowed in tens up into the air around the area. The sand and soft fine grains of soil spread in the air, creating an artificial fog of sand and dirt, floating lazily down, hiding the real rocks and boulders that were soon going to splash into the water.

Daiu saw the dust slowly approaching and he grinned, "Childs play." With that he focused and whipped up a powerful blast of wind, blowing it at them with the power of a F5 tornado, he smirked, "Grangers getting rusty."

The sand cloud that hazily made it's way down through the sky was swept away by Daiku's wind. Only to reveal the large rocks that dotted the sky as numerous as there are stars in the night sky. The sizes ranged from the size of a squirrel to three times the size of a wolf and they all came crashing down into the lake, slamming with tremendous force with high speeds, spraying the now murky water up into the air. They fell hundreds at a time, those unlucky to be under them seen nor heard anymore.

Xinal leapt aside as a rock nearly crashed on top of him splashing water all around making his fur stick in clumps. For seemingly an eternity that lasted a few moments, rocks rained down upon them.

Daikus ears perked and he started focusing on all the rocks he could, launching as many as he could to the side, While doing that he focused on protecting others, water was lifted from the sea and put over them, the hardend into a thick Ice barrier, Rocks could crack it, but not break it, and when it cracked Kyluka started fixing each one, Creating groups of bunkers for them. "Why didn't we do that earlier?" Daiku thought to himself.

Vixen stared up at the ice barrier and turned to Daiku, letting her claws stop flaming or else it might melt. "Nice, the one time I actually like water is right now." When it's saving my life, she thought ironically.
