Viral might have speed, and he might have power, but so did the Narbu. Maybe not to the degree the Beastman possessed but they were close enough. Viral could pound away at the Chieftain for the whole ten minutes and he may well not get anywhere, not if he didn't know how to strike properly. Blunt forces like he was using were near useless, if Viral was half the warrior thought to be then he would figure this out eventually. Again speed was used to try and gain the upper hand, the Chieftain couldn't move quickly enough to counter. Feeling a weight on his back the Narbu grinned, reaching back and managing to grab hold of his opponent. With a roar of exertion he threw Viral off of himself and forward, intending to toss him right into the nearby icy cliffs. That didn't quite work, the Beastman managed to catch himself and halt his flight. Immediately he was back on the offensive too, certainly a persistent one. Bracing by slamming both legs down into the ground the Chieftain grinned, holding his arms out to try and grab Viral again. He missed, and as a result took a strong punch to his gut, one after another. Groaning from the surprising force the Narbu began to step backwards, trying to grab hold of the Beastman's arms.

Hm, to manage to cause harm with punches alone, Viral truly was strong. Perhaps he had underestimated the visitor after all. Not again, now things would be taken more seriously. Reaching down with both arms he managed to block a succession of punches, pushing the Beastman back before stepping away. "Impressive... Your strength is fearsome indeed," he said, placing a paw over his now bruised stomach. "But... It takes much more than that to defeat me. [i]Noa bruk fae zo,[/i] let me show you the power of a Narbu warrior." Hunching over slightly the Chieftain extended one leg back, grinning toothily as his eyes locked onto Viral. With a push of his hind leg he was off, moving at a speed quick enough to kick up a trail of snow behind him. Approaching Viral he extended out an arm, trying to catch Viral in the gut and pull him along through sheer momentum alone, having the idea of driving the Beastman into the wall.

How long could these two actually fight, Takeshi wondered. 10 minutes would come and go, but he couldn't help but think they could go longer. For now they were evenly matched, yet he was certain they were holding back. Sizing one another up if anything, trying to get a feel for what the other was capable of. Yeah, he'd expect no less from Viral. Smiling as he watched their friend begin to deliver punch after punch he looked at Shu, smirking as he teased biting his tail. "Relax, your tail is too hairy to bite, I'd probably get a hairball or something," he teased, rolling his eyes. "Bite my tail? Hmph, who says I want my tail back anyways?" Their little banter would have to be put on hold for a moment, a sudden change of pace made the fight before them pick up. The Narbu seemed to be upping his efforts now, rushing headlong at Viral at a surprising speed. If something that big hit anyone that fast it was bound to hurt, Viral had best be careful. "Hey, watch out Viral!"
