Episode 118: BITE AND SLAM

URSUS: Tsk. Really? Could I just fight Miku?

HOSHI: Nah, dude. It'a decided. You're gonna fight her.

URSUS: But I hate her. And I'll kill her if I had the chance.

Hoshi looked rather shocked, then a hint of anger, and finally sighs to himself, leaning closer to the tall gray demon, whispering.

HOSHI: Please go easy on the beautiful maiden.

URSUS: Beautiful?!! I call her face a total abomination!

HADA: Damn you, you freaking greyball!

URSUS: I'll kill you, you freaking ugly-

HUMILITY: Hey, hey...I...well I didn't really expect demons to be cool headed but...uh, we're supposed to be...friends right?

URSUS: Friends??? That woman had been nothing but rude to me since the day she saw me.

DELTHA: Might have had a crush on you.

HADA: Shut up old man! You know nothing!

DELTHA: I...am older than both of you combined. So saying that I know nothing sort of hurts.

Hada frowns, then looks at her foe distastefully. The gray demon, hated her as well. And if she was a salmon, or even a regular bird, he'd take no second doubts into placing her to his mouth.

HOSHI: *facepalms* Are...are you two...cool now?

MURASAKI: Isn't this kinda one sided? I mean a bear and a...a bird? Isn't that kinda...unfair? I mean...

HADA: Are you calling me weak?!

Her hair, now shining silver levitates once more in the air. For once, Murasaki felt really reminiscient of all the girls she've seen do this before in animations. So after all...somehow in one part of the universe, it truly does exists.

MURASAKI: Nah. I...nah. You're...you're not weak.

Seeing her raging magenta eyes, Murasaki felt taken aback, missing Gabby's mostly calm and cutesy demeanor. Now seeing her rage like that, Murasaki wonders if Gabby also has that temper, in which she's only hiding behind her cheerful greeting smile.

URSUS: Tsk. Fine then, let's just start this so I can go, or something. I just don't like to look at your eyes too much. It burns my retinas.

HADA: Oh damn you!

URSUS: You ugly stupid tori...let's just start this freaking nuisance.

HUMILITY: Mm...are they really 100 plus years old or...nah.

ZEFARIH: Demons are just like that. Please pay no mind.

DELTHA: They are like children, no doubt. But I kinda like them together, for some odd reason.

MURASAKI: You're sick, that kind of pairing will 100% turn toxic.

DELTHA: Nah, I kinda want them to be frienda then lo-

AO: Stop it, please. I'm gonna puke.

MIKU: Ahahhahah! Hahhahah! I wanted to see them do so too, old man! I feel like it would be the greatest gag in my life.

The white reaper looks at the talking cat worringly, kinda curious of what goes through his mind. And of why he seems to always laugh at every single thing. Cats are known to be very stern, serious, distant, but this one...this demon...is acting more of like a dog than a cat.

HUMILITY: I...okay, uh, you two good to start, already? No more childish banters, yeah?

HADA: Hmph, whatever!

LIN: Ha...Hada, please be...nice.

Hada didn't dare reply, and Lin wonders if she was ignoring her, is disgusted of her, or just didn't hear her.

She looks at the ground once again, too shy to repeat her words.

HUMILITY: Okay then, one, two, three...fi-

HOSHI: FIGHT!!!

Humility seemed rather annoyed, not by the fact that he just got interrupted, but by the fact that Hoshi yelled near his ears. He could have seriously did that far away from where his hearing was.

HUMILITY: Thanks, Hoshi.

He said rather sarcastically.

Zefarih facepalms in embarrassment seeing his apprentice act like a child as well.

Hoshi however, don't simply care as his teal eyes were fixed on Hada's great physique.

Realizing her great body, he felt kinda sad upon realizing that they could have been the ones to fight.

HOSHI: Damn...I won't mind being crushed by those thighs though.

Ao heard his fantasizing and quickly slithered towards him.

While still looking at Hada flying and landing strikes on Ursus, Ao smacks Hoshi's cheeks.

AO: For goodness sake, we're demons, alright...but don't fantasize over her so openly, it's not so fitting since you're next to Humility.

HOSHI: Fric-...ugh! Whatever, you're just jealous 'cause you don't have legs.

Ao was again about to smack him, when Zefarih walks between them.

ZEFARIH: If you two want a round 2, do it later. We're watching them fight. Give Humility time and peace to explore them.

AO/HOSHI: S-sorry, Zefarih.

Both said while bowing.

The fight resumed.

HADA: Aw, who's so weak now, huh?

Hada was so light on her feet, that it was very easy for her to land strikes and fly again to escape Ursus' attack. The bear shifting demon felt more rage every passing second. She was such a tease.

Determined to at least land one blow on her, he thinks hardly despite the tingling pain of her claw scratches already on his back. Although Humility promised to give them flare to heal, he still don't like the idea of getting hurt. Especially by this woman he deems as weaker than him.

URSUS: Is that all you got, birdie?

HADA: Argh, you're really asking for this!

She tried to dive in again for another attack, but the grey demon suddenly shrinked back to his humanoid form, making him take the opportunity to take her leg as she was stunned by his act. (not tore it off, no, not like that XD)

Ursus slammed her to the ground, pinning her as she strives to fight his heavy weight.

URSUS: Who's the boss, now?

HADA: You're...you're crushing me you fat thing!

URSUS: Fat? These are muscles, you stupid tori!

HUMILITY: Should we stop them?

HOSHI: Nah, she's still not submitting.

Hada bit Ursus' hand, which made the bear shifter scream, slamming her head in anger.

The action shocked the crowd watching, and afraid they'd fight even more, Zefarih was forced to end the match just like that.

HUMILITY: Alright, lesson learned. This two just won't and can't work together. They'll tear each other off, with no hesitation on both sides.

DELTHA: Yeah...their dynamic is kinda...worse than what I imagined them to be. Such a waste. If they worked together with Hada's mobility and keen eyes, togethet with Ursus' undeniable strength, they would have had been a great team.

HUMILITY: I wonder why they hate each other so much.

HADA: I won, right? He yelled in pain and when I hit my head and I didn't scream like a little girl!

URSUS: Oh, yeah? But you're bleeding.

AO: Shut up you two. How disgracee~ssssful you are. Acting like stupid kids in front of Humility and Zefarih.

URSUS: Her fault for biting me in the first place. Such a-

AO: I dare you to sss~sssay one more word.

URSUS: Okay, fine. Whatever. I won, anyways so..

Humility gave a heavy sigh.

HUMILITY: Whatever, moving on.

Hada, still bitter from her lost flew to the nearest tree. Holding her slightly bleeding forehead.

Hoshi saw the frustration in her eyes and thought of comforting her.

He transforms his hands into big dragon claws to help him climb the tree.

Hada felt the shaking and looked down, only to see the blonde demon striving to get to her. His black hood got caught off on one of the branches, making it harder for him to continue. Hada laughs and moved down to help him.

HADA: Why do you care? I thought you found that 'Fae' cute.

HOSHI: I...won't deny that fact but it won't hurt to try and cheer you up, right?

HADA: You playboy...you'd never get a girl if you're a simp for everyone.

HOSHI: Nah, my looks and charisma are too strong to resist.

HADA: And...also lower your confidence a bit. That might help.

Hada lifts Hoshi up, finally able to sit beside her.

Hada smiles at him, then her eyes proceeded to look at Ursus, now having a talk with Humility.

Hoshi noticed this, and wondered too of why they have such a strained relationship.

Hoshi knew that they know each other for a long time, and their feud had been so common that nobody even says anything about it anymore, except Ao of course, who secretly was kinda growing tired of it.

HOSHI: Why...why are you...and him...angry at each other?

HADA: Shut up. Or I'll...I'll...

HOSHI: Oi, it's okay.

HADA: I freaking said it's nothing!!!

URSUS: Oi, keep it down from there you lovebirds! We are having a talk!

HADA: Ow, whatever salmon breath!

HOSHI: It's not even five minutes and you're fighting already. How amusing.

HADA: He's annoying!

HOSHI: Yeah, but why? What started it?

HADA: Well, it's definitely not me!

HOSHI: Yeah, but...how? Why do you two...always fight all the time?

HADA: It's...it's too embarrassing to tell, and don't force me.

HOSHI: Why not?

HADA: Or I'll bite your hand as well.

HOSHI: Eh...on second thought, I kinda miss the ground. Bye bye, pretty Hada, see you later!
