Tight Situation

((Gauhaaa))

The Moonewk on my left initiates the fight by swinging its right arm on me. As usual, I take a step back while leaning back to dodge it. It seems leaning back has become my favorite means of dodging right now.

((Skrskk..))

The sound of twigs, rocks, and pebbles falling down from where I stand. Damn, I move too far backward I'm now on the edge of the branch. Another step and I'll fall.

((Ghaaaa))

The other one on my right then jumping at me while swiping both of its' arms diagonally downward to scrape me down. I now roll forward to dodge it.

It has begun.

Strikes after strikes they try to pull out on me. The Moonewk on my left now throws sweeps using its right and left arm simultaneously, followed by a straight. Yes, a straight. For the first time, I see a Moonewk throw an actual punch rather than just swinging its' arms around. I dodge by leaning back for the first two swings and hop backward to avoid the last one. However, it doesn't stop there, its' companion then follows by jumping in from behind and slams the ground.

((Brakkk!!))

Holy crap!

I roll to the right to avoid that slam. Just after I roll it follows by swinging its' left arm towards me, throwing a bottom-up diagonal sweep towards me.

Lean back!

The other one comes circling the Moonewk in front of me. It's trying to approach me from the left side, while the one in front of me keeps throwing punches after punches. Straight, right hook, left uppercut, and left hook. The movement is not perfect but those are solid punches. I lean back, weave left, hopping lean back, and slip to the right to avoid those punches. Just as I finish dodging all those strikes, then…

((Gagughaaaaa))

((Buagghhh))

"Gahhhhh!!" I got hit with a straight from the Moonewk on my left. It doesn't stop there. The one on my front kicks me right in the chest. I got knocked back. It then throws a straight to me, followed by a left uppercut, and finished with an overhand right. I manage to pull out a helmet guard to block the overhand.

Still unfinished, the Moonewk on the left launches a propelling kick towards me, and this time also, I manage to shift my arms to my torso to block it.

"Gahhh… Gaaahhhh…"

This is crazy.

I'm in a tight situation. I can't take the offensive. I can only keep being defensive. Keep it this way and I'll be running out of stamina. Running out of stamina like this, well, that could be the same as running out of health. I'll be dead even before I could think about it.

Goddammit.

I need to find a gap, some opening to penetrate their defenses and launch a counterattack. Do I need a weapon to fight them? I got my carving knife, but no. It's not meant for fighting. Besides, using my carving knife just to fight them would be a waste. It might get me a quicker time dealing with them, but it would rip the weapon out of its' durability quickly. I still need to find an opening to deliver the attacks as well, and I'm not really good with a knife. If there's anyone better suited for that style, it's Juna, but he's not here right now. So, I'll stick to my fists.

I need to be more aggressive this time.

"HYAAHHH!!" I charge them. I aim for the one on the right. Feint weaves, and then a body straight, left hook. It sweeps its' left arm to push me aside, but I took a backstep. The other one coming, throwing a right overhand. I weave to the left while throwing a body straight, then I move up to its' left and launch two middle sweeping kicks. Putting my feet back and stepping back a little, I then throw a roundhouse kick to it.

((Gaugahooo))

((Gha ghaa ghaaa))

The other one is charging on me, while I take a step backward to make some space. It then launches itself on me, swiping down both its' arms diagonally. I hop backward, then I'm back on charging forward, throwing a barrage of punches. Straight and jab to the body, twice, combined with a body hook, left and right, twice, and an uppercut using my left fist, followed by another right and left hook, then finished with a pushing middle kick.

((Graooo))

The other Moonewk body charges me now. It then throws right and left hook on me, followed by a pushing middle kick.

"Gahhh!!!" It all hits. Still in the middle of enduring the pain from those strikes, its' comrade launches a propelling kick on me. I roll out of the way. Still not enough, the other one also launches a propelling kick on me, but this time, instead of rolling out, I step back and skip before throwing a sweeping left middle kick to stop its' momentum.

((Khhaakkk))

It seems to be a critical hit. This time I rain kicks on it. Sweeping middle kick three times, front middle kick, and a spinning back kick. As I finish the combo, the other one comes charging a diagonal swipe on me, I turn myself and stop it mid-air using a knee. I then throw right and left elbow, followed by a back elbow, and finished with a sweeping middle kick. I'm not stopping there, I then swift to its' front throwing straight, left hook, right hook, left uppercut, and a right overhand to finish it.

((Gauhaa ghaa ghaaa…))

It seems it's not over yet, so I throw a grappling knee on it.

((Buagghhh))

And it's down.

Looking over on the last one standing, it seems like it truly hates me now that I killed its' comrade.

((GHAAAAGAAAAA))

Shit, it's getting mad. But hey, during this rage moment, I can utilize its' uncontrollable temper to my benefits.

So, it's begun.

It's jumping at me, slamming the ground. I hop backward, I then charge in, throwing a jab-strike, it tries to counter by swinging its' right arm, but I lean back to dodge it. I then throw another strike, a double right body hook, and a left body hook.

Clean shot.

I then push kick it.

"HYAAAAHHH!!!" I launch myself as I throw a downward jumping elbow.

((Brakkk))

((Gaugahaaaa))

I retreat backward, to make some space, and restore some of my stamina while planning for the next sequence of attacks, but then…

((GRAOOO GHAA GAHUHAAA!!!))

The Moonewk escape. It runs away. It tries to go back to its' comrade.

Tchh…

Dammit.

If it goes this way, then I would be having a hard time dealing with all of them at once.

Thus, I chase it.

Goddammit, it's too fast. The moment it starts running four-legged, it really becomes out of my league in terms of speed…, but I gotta chase it anyway. So, I propel myself, I push myself as hard as I could to reach it. I run and run. I push myself through the limit. My chest's burning, but I don't care. I gotta prevent it from reaching that area. I have to stop it before that!

((Gahuhaaa))

"HYAHHHHH!!! You're not getting away from me!!!" I scream my battle cry as I finally reach and grapple it.

"Guhh… Guhh… Gahhh…"

((Badump… Bughh… Bammm…))

The sound of me and the Moonewk rolling on the ground. I manage to stop right on top of it. I ground it this time.

"GAHHHH!! HYAHHH!!!" The sound of what seems to be my last battle cry in this fight as I pull out everything I could, throwing punches after punches to the Moonewk. It struggles to break free from me, but I'm not gonna let it go.

((Bughhh… Bughhh... Poww…))

((Ghaa… Ghaoo… Khuu… Khuuu…))

((Brakk… Baghhh…))

As I deliver the last two slams upon its' head using both of my arms, it stops moving. However, little did I realize that the ground I've been finishing it, was the enemy territory. As I look upon my surrounding, all I see are angry Moonewks all around me. Not just two, but three Moonewks.

Holy crap. I'm doomed.
