As he approached, Warhound saw something in Ryu's hands.
"The hell is this?" He snatched it from Ryu, it was big enough for him to wrap his hand around.
It was reactive to where he touched, glowing wherever his hand was.
"Looks like something that could be dangerous"
"It's ours" Pheo told him, "We mined it out"
Ryu was surprised by how Pheo reacted.
The hell am I doing?
Pheo thought to himself, he was a bit nervous. He managed to barely stop his legs from shaking.
Warhound tossed it back and forth from his hands. "I don't know"
"Maybe It should just be destroyed, just in case"
He held it in one hand and gripped it with full strength.
Pheo panicked at first as it looked like it would do something. But as time passed, Warhound only tired himself out.
"What the?" He started using both hands, trying his hardest to break the rock but it stayed pristine.
Ryu laughed, "Tired yet?"
He was confident that Warhound couldn't break what he tried to hit at full force.
Warhound looked at him angrily, Ryu's eyes were mocking him.
"How about this instead" Warhound threw it to his left hand, "All you have to do is take it from me"
Bet I can sell this thing for some bucks to a rich kid
"Come on, lets get it' Ryu told Pheo, running straight at Warhound.
He reached for the rock, but Warhound's arms were too long.
"Too slow!" He shouted out, waving his arms just out of reach of Ryu.
"Slow?" Ryu asked, he quickly went from one side to another. "I'll make sure you won't have a second to spare"
His movements were flawless, exceptional for someone of his age.
What the hell did this kid take?
Warhound had his hands full trying to keep Ryu at bay, but still had the edge over him.
Pheo watched as Ryu batted around Warhound, it made him reconsider what he had been doing these past days.
Am I really able to stand with them?
With Ryu?
No, he would just be in Ryu's way if he tried to get in. He shrunk back with the others in the background, he was of no use.
"Pheo!" Ryu called out to him. It snapped him out of his thinking.
Right, were in this together
He grabbed a rock and threw it right at Warhound's head.
Warhound's head got knocked a bit, "The hell?"
He turned to see Pheo, "You throw like a girl!"
The comment riled him up. Pheo began running right at him and throw a punch with all of his weight.
It slightly pushed him back. "Really?" He asked Pheo
Warhound watched as Pheo kept trying to punch him over and over again, kicking him away.
"You're lucky I haven't transformed, kid" he scolded him, leaving him to focus his attention back at Ryu.
Pheo laughed, "Turning to a wolf because of a kid?" He said sarcastically. "Sounds just like something you would do"
His comments insulted Warhound's ego. He was about to shout something at Pheo before getting kicked in the head by Ryu.
"Shit!" He slipped out as he let go of the mineral. It rolled away from all three of them, stopping right at Don's feet.
He grabbed it, playing with its translucency before looking at the three of them.
"What are you waiting for? Grab it"
They all sprinted towards him, all eyes were on the rock.
Pheo reached out for the rock only for Don to move just enough for Pheo to miss and fall to the ground.
Ryu wasn't falling for it however, he quickly stopped and aimed straight for Don's face.
"Slow" He said while ducking, slapping Ryu's face lightly with his other arm.
Don shoved him away, "If you want to get the mineral, you have to work together"
"You think you can stop me though?"
Warhound said right as he threw a mean hook at Don.
He dodged, "Easily" He hit Warhound at the stomach with his fist.
He held his belly, "Aren't we supposed to be allies?"
Don looked at his face, "Who said I'd help you with this childish feud?"
Pheo laughed at his remark. "You hear that?" He asked Warhound, "Even he thinks you're acting childish!"
Warhound looked at him and growled, then went back to attacking Don.
"Give me the damn thing!"
They both quarreled with each other. Ryu managed to go between them and kick both of them away from each other.
"I'll take Warhound, you grab it from the old guy!"
Ryu held his guard up against Warhound.
"You shouldn't overestimate yourself just because I'm not transformed, you know?" He said in a serious tone.
Ryu groaned, "Just put your hands up"
