"BEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Fading Mist shrieks as a huge brown bear charges into the Quartz Camp. Wolves dart left and right, and Fading Mist shoves her cubs into the cub den, and joins in. She leaps onto the bear's back and tears one of its ears. The bear roars, and rears onto its hind legs. Fading Mist falls off and lands on her paws, ready for battle. The bear swipes at her as she jumps aside. She grabs onto its lower jaw, and it swings its massive head with such force that Fading Mist is sent flying, hits the wall of the camp and slumps to the ground, fading into darkness. "MIST!" Lightning Strike howls, lunging at the bear. It swipes at him clumsily, and misses by a hair. It strikes out again, and this time, it meets its mark. Lightning Strike is knocked off his paws with a yelp, and the bear is upon him. He flails his paws about, occasionally hitting the bear, but the bear hits him with blows with the power of a thunder storm. It rakes at his fur, but just grazes his flesh. He decides that his best chance is to play dead, so he lets himself go limp. The bear delivers one more blow to his ribs for good measure, and then turns away. At that moment, Lightning Strike surges up, and leaps onto the bear, he bites into its neck, and keeps on gnawing, deeper and deeper. Then, the bear throws him off, but he scrambles back on, sinking his claws into its skin to hang on for dear life. It rears up, and he cries out desperately, "Help me!"

Moon Shadow comes back from the woods and hears commotion in the Quartz Camp and sees Lightning Strike and a bear, fighting and snarling. She rushes over and leaps up and manages to faze the bear long enough so Lighning Strike can get up. Moon Shadow runs over to Fading Mist, to see if she is all right, and finds her lying there, not moving at all. Moon Shadow is not sure that she will make it but tries to help Lightning Strike keep the bear away from her. "Lightning Strike!" She yells, "I'm going to find help!" She barely sees a nod from Lightning Strike before running, hoping that someone would come, Soaring Eagle, Sky Deamon, or anyone would come and help.

HoowwOOOOrrrrrgrawooOO! Derthutus Arajensys rushes out of his bed next to his family in the Cub Dens and runs to join in the fight. Defending his superiors, he leaps at the bear, dodging left and right to avoid the responding blows. Suddenly he feels a sharp burning pain in his left shoulder. It was sliced by the bear's claws! Trying to be brave and ignore the pain, he tries to slip in under the bear's swinging paws and rip at it's stomach. Unfortunately, his wound makes him slower than he is used to, and the bear notices him through it's rage and hits him in the back with its enormously deadly paws. Derthutus goes flying, and Primula Alpicola screams an unearthly wail after seeing this from her bed in the Cub Dens. As her cubs try to follow her, she shoves them towards the ready paws of her trusted babysitter Rolianthus Eromata, who had been helping watch the pups lately. Ignoring their puppy protests, she sprints full speed to her mate's side, all the time imagining the worst. Derthutus sees his mate coming and yells hoarsely, 'No! My flower, stay back! It's too dangerous! Go back!' Ignoring him, she comes to his side, crying out for a healer. Sobbing, she hurls herself at the bear from behind, where Derthutus Arajensys had fallen. She manages to rip at the bears back and slice open it's side before barely being missed by a swinging paw. Anger fades and she comes back to her senses and returns to her mate, where the Healer is already helping him to the Cub Dens. 'No...' he whines weakly. 'My young shouldn't see me like this...' Turning to the kind Healer, Primula Alpicola agrees, finally remembering the rest of her family. 'I must return to them, my love. Get better and be safe. Untill I can come back to you...' she trails off and gently nuzzles in to his warm ruff, then leaves to rejoin her family in the Cub Dens. After putting the cubs to bed despite the commotion outside, she pulls Rolianthus Eromata to the side and telling her what happened. Rolianthus Eromata gasps and cries appropriately, and gives her friend a loving shoulder to cry on.

Lightning Strike slashes at the side of the bear, and its blood splatters his dark gray pelt. The bear rips at his fur, and clumps of fur fall to the ground, dark gray and brown. The bear snaps grabs his scruff and swings him about like a rag doll. Meanwhile, Lightning Strike grabs onto the bear's chest and tears a huge chunk of flesh from the bear. The bear roars in pain and fury, and drops the wolf. Lightning Strike rears up on his hind legs and bats at the bear's face. Startled, the bear back up, and Lightning Strike slowly advances on his hind legs, trying desperately to keep his balance. He's amazed at how stupid the bear is, a wolf would have gone for his exposed belly! He lashes out with one paw, and sinks his claws into one of the bear's eyes. He pulls it out, falling down to all fours as the eyeball rolls away. Blood pours from the bear's eye socket onto its face, and Lightning Strike, repulsed, dives under the bear beneath its belly and slashes up, ripping the bear's tender flesh, and jabs upward once just before sliding out from underneath, as a rush of air leaves the bear, and it whimpers in pain from Lightning Strike's jab. He then sees his mate, and rushes over, crying, "Mist! My love! Don't leave me!" He gently runs his forepaw down her flank, and almost sobs in relief when he feels her breathing. "She's alive," he whimpers. "THANK LUPUS SHE'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!" He gently tucks his mate into a crevice in the ground. "Stay there," he whispers. "Stay there until the battle is won."

While Lightning Strike fighting the bear, Moon Shadow rushes over to Fading Mist with the Apple Leaf. Apple Leaf looks over Fading Mist and says,"She should be fine, but it will take a while for her to come around." Moon Shadow sighs in relief, knowing that Fading Mist is all right. Moon Shadow turns around and sees Lightning Strike fighting the bear. Moon Shadow finally feels her inner courage, and charges into battle. She slashes at the bear, and then darts off, her own and the bear's blood streaking her pelt. The bear charges after her, and suddenly, a familiar howl breaks into Moon Shadow's ears, crying, "NO!" She whips around, to see Fading Mist, conscience once again, but still pained, leaping after the bear, with Apple Leaf ambling around, saying with slurred words, "Yay. She's awake. Back to my juniper berries!"

Fading Mist limps as rapidly as possible toward the bear, now charging after her friend. She leaps up, and sinks her teeth into its neck. The entire pack is now out, and many wolves are springing at the bear and attacking it. The bear shakes the wolves off as if they were fleas, and then heads toward the cub den. Now every wolf is upon it, and it swipes one clean off, and as the wolf tries the get up, the bear engulfs the wolf's head in its powerful jaws. Before the wolf even has a chance the yelp, the bear shuts its mouth hard, Fading Mist hears a painful crack, and the wolf goes limp. Fading Mist swallows her horror, and then lunges out in front of the cub den, bristling, thinking of all the cubs inside. A painful image of her own cubs, eyes wide with fear, as the bear is about to kill pops into her head. She quickly shuts it out, and bristling, snarls, "You will not have the cubs!" She tries to look dangerous and brave, but on the inside, as all mothers with their children at risk of death, she's terrified. She tries to hide her fear scent, but the bear doesn't notice. She draws back her ears, lip curled into a snarl, hackles raised, fangs bared. Fading Mist is ready, even though she's badly injured, to fight to the death if it saves her precious cubs, as the bear rises up to its hind legs, bristling. Then, it lets out an ear splitting roar, one that would be heard from miles around. It lets out a roar that answers Fading Mist's challenge. Although the bear can't speak wolf, its roar clearly says, "Yes, in fact, I will."

Soaring Eagle darts out from the Cub Den, as her and Fading Mist's Cubs watch with fright in their eyes. Soaring Eagle leaps up, and tears one of the bears ears off. She dodges a paw blow, and blinds it with a quick sweep of her paw. Furiously, the bear screeches, and a roar sounds out through the Quartz Camp. The wolves look at each other, confused, as the bear is now writhing on the ground in pain. It is Soaring Eagle who figures it out first. "There are two!" she screeches. "Guard the Cub Den!" Then she leeds a patrol of wolves to take on the other bear, who charges into the camp. Soaring Eagle jumps at it, but is batted back by Sky Deamon. "Guard the Cubs," he says. "I'll fight it." "No," says Soaring Ealge. "YOU guard the Cubs. I'LL fight it." Sky Deamon scowls, but runs towards the Cub Den. Soaring Eagle and the other wolves battle the bear. Soaring Eagle dashes towards the bear, clawing at it as she had with the other one, but this one is stronger, and it bats her against the wall, and slices her back open next to her spine. Soaring Eagle lies still, and does not move. "Eagle!" screams Sky Deamon, and he runs towards his mate. She gives a slight groan, and continues to lie completley still. "Eagle no! You can't die! What about our cubs? What about Falcon, Shadow, Wind, and Spark? Spark hasn't even opened his eyes yet! Don't you want to see them grow up?" Eagle still doesn't move. Sky Deamon nudges her with his nose, as the battle swarms around them. Eagle slowly sits up, turns a nasty green color, and collapses again. "Deamon," she mutters. "Yes?" he asks. "Yes?" "TRICKED YOU!" she cries. "You will NEVER hear the end of this one! I'll be laughing about this until we're both dead!" Their laughing alerts the bear, who spins around, but quick as lightning, Fading mist claws open it's belly, and another wolf tears out it's heart with his teeth. "Well that's the end of that one," says Sky Deamon. "Yeahh...." says Eagle. "That was AWESOME!" cries Falcon Talons. Shadow Forest is close on his heels, and Sweeping Wind limps along behind them. "Yeah!" cries Shadow Forest. "You completly KILLED that bear!" "Yeah..." says Soaring Eagle. "That's because we actually killed it." "Yeah!" says Sweeping Wind. "I've never seen anything like that!" "You've never seen anything!" says Falcon Talons. "Have too!" snaps Sweeping Wind. "Have not!" says Falcon Talons. The two scuffle on the ground, until Falcon Talons hits Sweeping Wind's paw, and she shrieks with pain. "And that's why you'll never actually help your Pack!" teases Falcon Talons. "Falcon!" snaps Soaring Eagle. "If you EVER talk to your sister that way again, you'll never actually help your Pack either." Falcon looks at his paws embarrased. Sweeping Wind smirks, and the three head back to camp.

Fading Mist collapses into the darkness. Her body aches all over, four of her ribs are broken, and her leg is bent at a funny angle. She's throbbing all over, and wills Lupus to take her out of her pain. She feels herself being hauled into the healer den, and the loses conscientiousness all together.
