303. Hurrah! Thanks for waiting for me.
Success! The word and meaning echoed through Hybrid’s mind as his teeth closed in on his target and his victim yelped in pain. Hybrid twisted, trying to deepen his hold on the wolf and tear more wounds in the short time he had. The yellow wolf was momentarily distracted by Gabriel now rushing at him and dropped the branch. Again, it seemed as things were going well. Without his weapon, the familiar intruder was without a means of defending himself. While the Optime form was certainly agile, fighting in it required a weapon if you wanted to extend your reach. Without his branch, his reach was diminished and the wolf only had his hands.
The taste of blood was thick in Hybrid’s mouth now, but the wolf was determined to put up a fight. Hybrid loosened his grip, about to refocus his attack, when he felt the wolf’s hand come down on his head. He wolf had clubbed him! Shocked, Hybrid felt himself stumble in a slight daze. He tried to regain his focus and snarled, dropping lower and baring his fangs at his attacker. He did not want to be anywhere within reach of the yellow wolf's fists! He followed up his last small movement and tried to bite the hand and grab a hold of it in his teeth.
The intruder retreated and Hybrid followed. He began to speak and glanced away for a moment. Hybrid stalked after him, following his movements with his eyes. He was not sure why the wolf had glanced above him, but it did not really matter. Hybrid dove to one side and attacked the wolf again, this time using his powerful back legs to push himself to his feet and lash out with his forelegs in an attempt to hold and bite the wolf again.
