Xinal watched on as the ice dome formed above them. The rocks pounding on the surface, cracking, and denting the smooth curve of the dome to which he noted that Kyluka quickly repatched any great holes that could weaken the whole structure. Sand slipped in through the cracks of the dome and as he onserved the white blue light that filtered through the dome started to dim as rocks started to cover the top.

"Something's fishy..." He muttered to himself.

Granger looked on his eyes now seemingly red from the glare of the afternoon sun. He observed the scene unfold before his eyes. The initial attempt to bury the water turned into a chance to bury their whole defense dome. He howled, calling upon the power of the afternoon sun, he felt energy spread through his body. When he glanced down his paws were aflame. He barked back to his pack, "Everyone, we move. NOW!" He leapt off the cliff side and flew down, propelling himself faster and faster down into the top of the dome with his pack following alongside. The still falling earth attached to his body reforming the armor that he once had and he fortified it with a burst of flame. A few other Ground Wolves who had extreme willpower created partial armors, some having leg armor, some having chest or head plating. Some even fortifying their claws. Granger hit the rock and burned a hole through it, sending molten rock flying every which way. His momentum and force of his heat hit the ice, strong enough to shatter it. He landed on the ground amidst a cloud of dust and kept in his crouch as the whole pack fall in place behind him.

Xinal's eyes widened and dropped to a battle crouch.

Daiku Dodged the debris and noted mentally Granger aproaching again, watching how his troops forged armor and he nodded to Kylukas who copied them creating a Ice armor. He focused and tempered his armor to full sharpness and strength and grined, "Here we go again."

Staying a few paces behind Daiku, Xinal padded forward beside Vixen, his teeth bared in a snarl showing his gleaming teeth. Bolts of static ruptured from his pelt and fur as they started to collect on his body. The bright blue light crackled as the strands of fur brushed each other as they moved along with his movements. "I hope he's got nothing under his sleeve." Xinal muttered to himself

Granger stepped forward, his eyes were dead centered on Kyluka. "My target is that alpha." He swung his head to look at Daiku, "You are just in the way." Granger barked readying himself, lowering to a crouch. His bright amber and green eyes were shadowed by the conged fur that surrounded himself. As the moon rose the whole cavern that was created by the initial assault collapsed flooding the area with moonlight. Granger's armor glinted as it revealed that it was no longer as streamlined as it used to be. Now it had spikes coming off the joints and even some sort of sharp winglike structures which were thin enough to cut through flesh. His teeth bared as he ordered his wolves to attack once more.

"This is it... the final."

The moment the leaders of each unit called back in reply he leapt unusually high into the air using no longer his traditional catapult but propelled himself using his fire element. He flew over Daiku and appeared to float in the air, only to vanish as if he were sand, the tiny gains just flittered over the field.

Ground Wolves started to rush the lines of the Water and Wind Wolves.

[[OOC: I'm so sorry... did I just make this plot extend to much? -.-; There'll be no more retreats on Granger's part after this one.]]

Daiku watched and begin creating a whirlwind around himself... Creating a defense Array, adding sand and other small stuff so anything Granger tried would be noticed. "Come out wherever you are..."

Kyluka watched closley, copying Daiku and creating a water array around her to detect signs on invisible movement. "You can't hide forever Granger..."

Xinal could only depend on the defense array of Daiku and Kyluka for he couldn't summon anything of that effect with his powers. "I feel defenseless." He shook his head when he tried to remember the 'brighter' side of the battle. He could help thin out the numbers of the Ground Wolves. Soon enough he found himself locked with a former Ground Wolf Beta and they started to parry, exchanging blow after blow.

Granger had anticipated the defense array of Daiku, but not of Kyluka. The water would distort the already distorted light that he had modified around himself to camouflage himself. "I might as well stay out of Kyluka's field." He ran at Daiku, feeling the sand and rock particles graze his armor as he ran into Daiku's defeense array. He extended the range of the heat so that the light deflected would consume more area therefore hiding even the particles that hit him, and in effect he wound up reflecting all the other particles that were flying about the air. He gave a leap, still undetected to the naked eye, when he was in combat range of Daiku, but through his twisted mind he hadn't taken note of one thing... his invisibility cloak's high temperature would give away his location the moment he is even able to land a bite.

Daiku perked his ears and shifted his position quickly, noticing a sudden heat bloom and quickly flew away from it and blasted water from below up to where he sensed it. believing it to be Granger.

The water bubbled and turned into steam as it came in contact with the bruning hot temperature. The cloak of hot air that Granger had floating around him disipated and left him standing there. However he never said anything more about his predicament, it was as to be expected. He leapt at Daiku bringing down his reinforced claws down on his own son.

Grangers claws clashed with Daikus armor and instinctivly daiku grabbed onto his arm so he wouldn't be knocked down. GLaring at him and raised a claw of his own and aimed for grangers face, aiming to the side so the spikes wouldn't hurt him.

Daiku's swipe made contact which threw Granger's head to the other direction. Glaring back, his teeth bared, through his amber and green eyes that were shadowed by the scorched ash-black fur. He tried to ppush Daiku off his feet to bring him down o pin him. He used the spikes on his helmet to try and impale him.

Daiku kept up his defensice tactics and snagged onto Grangers armor, twisting and getting him off before taking folight away from him and fireing a powerful Ice attack on him.

((Sorry for the late reply))

Granger lost the tactical exchange as Daiku launched him away whilst escaping. Granger slid across the ground, his spiky armor raking the ground with thick deep lines. When he looked up he saw Daiku with an ice attack being launched for him. "He's getting, better..." He muttered to himself as he threw up an earth wall seconds before the ice hit him.

Daiku rammed through the wall and front flipped, swinging his tail at Granger which now had formed a Blade like armor on it. Daiku intentions we're not to knock him out any more... but to kill him.

Granger felt the force of impact on his flank that Daiku's small body had exerted on him. This is getting out of hand... He thought to himself as he tried to push Daiku off of him. The moment he felt a little budge he felt something from his side. The more he pushed Daiku, the more he felt this 'thing' sliding out of him. When he finally came to his senses and spun about to get his armor untangled from Daiku and deliver a slash, he realized that blood was dripping down the side that had been in contact with Daiku. He looked down to see a gash, welling with blood pouring out a whole through his armor. His eyes widened in shock and looked up at the young pup. His eyes glared at the pup.

"I am not dying yet!" He barked stubbornly and leapt. But his leap was not for Daiku... he leapt with all his power aiming to land a fatal bite upon the unsuspecting Kyluka. He was already feeling light headed as he continued to lose more blood as he flew through the air. The moment she was in reach of his bite, he went for it with a bone shattering clamp hoping to have killed the only wolf he had ever wanted to kill for this whole campaign... this war...

{{OOC: I'm soooo sorry again. My weekend schedules are getting more and mroe hectic ><}}

Daiku yipped in shock and suprise at Kyluka to warn her, but knew she wouldn't be able to move in enough time, So in quick reaction He bolted after Granger, using all bending power he could muster he used to propel himself faster, at the lasty moment, the furry little bullet flew right into he side of grangers face just before his fangs touched her.

Kyluka yelped in pain and shock when fangs tore at her head and a speeding object flew right by her face. Jumping quickly to the Side she instantly noticed it was Granger and Diaku at it.
