The oni wouldn't find herself going alone, as several others followed her close behind. Ratiq hid within her shadow from the prying eyes of Noire, who happened to be conversing closely with the head Bone-Man himself. The Chryseis lion would also come along as his radiant golden fur contrasted heavily within the dark, damp cavern. Even the silent Pandora wandered behind, looking curiously at the blank puddles of water that littered the ground. Jukati was perfectly fine going on a killing spree against the canid wardens, but she guessed they wanted a chunk of the murder pie as well. They probably couldn't help themselves.

Nonetheless, they would reach the werewolves' fort, which was located within a large cavernous keep. She could already hear the mutts' howls echoing from within, no doubt signaling the others to rally up and prepare themselves for the imminent battle. Ratiq would whisper this concern before vanishing in an attempt to enter the gated keep. She could barely see him slip by just as the gate closed in on him. 

[b][color=ed1c24]"Al'ighty,"[/color][/b] the muscular oni barked as she clasped her fists together, [b][color=ed1c24]"If those damn mutts wanna have a go at us, then let us put 'em in their graves."[/color][/b]

Before she could act on anything, the lion roared into battle as he pounced onto the wolf horde. With his entrance completed, it prompted Jukati to bellow a trembling war cry as she too ran into the battlefield.

[b][color=ed1c24]"GRAAAAAH!"[/color][/b] the oni boomed as she connected her flaming, meaty fist into the lower jaw of an unfortunate warden. 

The wolf would find itself slamming head-first into the ground before the oni's foot caved its skull in with a sickening crack. Three other wolves had now proceeded to focus their efforts upon the raging oni as one lobbed its spear towards her. Jukati would strafe to her right, yet was quick enough to snatch the spear from midair. Her fist would cast the spear on fire just as a wolf lunged with a ferocious snarl. The oni jabbed at the wolf's torso with the flaming spear, before tossing it at the second wolf. 

But the warden would swiftly dodge, prompting it and the other wolf to make their attack. The second wolf would lunge with a powerful leap, only for it to be countered by a flaming kick that threatened to shatter its ribcage. As the warden was tossed onto the hard ground, the third guard would be more cautious as it issued a mock charge to grab the oni's attention. Jukati lunged, leading the wolf to side strafe and swipe its spear towards its opponent's side, issuing only a minor scratch. It was a fruitless endeavor for blood as it found its snout obscured by Jukati's massive hand that lifted it off of the ground. Its spear would be snatched away as its face began to scorch in flaming agony, before it would feel flaming fist create a literal hole into its mid-riff. 

As Jukati was about to drop the near-dead corpse, she would see the second warden attempt to get up from the corner of her eye. She would quickly advance on its position - still holding the third wolf by its face - before smashing the body straight on top of it, ending both of their lives on the spot.
