From within his shadow a large three meter long wolf climbed out shaking off its coat as it strode upon the ground once more. It's fur though tinted by shadow was a vibrant whitish silver coat with slate blue highlights. It's yellow eyes seemed to radiate pure hatred and around each of its legs were several bear traps that pierced deep into its flesh though no blood was spilled. It didn't even seem to notice them. When Ritsuka approached it barked somewhat happily.

"Come Lobo, it's time to hunt today." Ritsuka was allowed to pet its head with a loud howl the traps on its leg disappeared and blue flames danced from its eyes and mouth. Ritsuka climbed upon his back and was lifted up. When in position two large crooked swords with fangs on the back of each blade appeared in his hands. A large coat adorned with seemingly living tendrils made of fabric and chains appeared on him with each tendril seemingly having a mind of their own. With a small toss of one of his blades, Lobo, as it was called, grabbed the blade in its jaw. "So are you two ready?"

"Uh…" Kiba and Koneko both answered clearly freaked out by the appearance of a wolf. The very visage of said beast screamed to them, do not piss it off. Even so it made no attempt to hurt them and its jaw was currently occupied by the blade clenched between each fang. That still wasn't a comforting sight since it meant that the wolf was very capable and intelligent enough to use weapons to harm others.

"I'll take it as a yes then." Ritsuka chuckled as two of the tendrils picked them up keeping them level with Ritsuka. He did his best to assure them that they were fine but the billowing flames from Lobo made them stare at his companion. Ritsuka decided it was better to act than explain at this moment. "Well let's go hunt the poor fools down then."

Lobo barked in tandem from his declaration and with a sudden burst of speed zoomed away across the plains of their starting area. Kiba and Koneko screamed as they were carried off with their friends watching in sheer disbelief. Rias was bemused by the sight and while she wanted to ride atop Lobo as well… she didn't think the wolf would allow her to. Asia felt a bit bad by the sight of a wolf since those traps were around its legs… then it howled menacingly and those traps disappeared leaving nothing but a dangerous predator. Akeno was still shocked and it took a small bit of prodding from Asia to get her to return back to conscious thought once more

"What…?' Akeno managed to state, still completely taken by surprise from what had just happened. This had been the last thing she would have expected since Ritsuka had said he was going to basically carpet bomb the enemy before they could even move.

Riser quickly forced the others out before they could be taken out by another attack. There was no telling what other plans were in the works that that mage was apparently planning now. Though at this point their original plan of distracting the small Gremory Peerage while Riser dealt with Rias personally. That plan was loudly crushed and he had to pull something haphazardly together because of the sudden loss to his side.

Unfortunately, due to that abruptness, Karlamine was sent out on her own. She wasn't feeling that confident in the matter. While they had figured out a decent plan, in the end… it had come to nothing the moment more than half their number were knocked out of the game. It didn't help that all of them knew what to expect should Riser lose. Most of them weren't worried about losing since that was an impossibility… now it was looking to become a reality.

"Hmph… it doesn't matter. I won't let them win." Karlamine attempted to assure herself.

As she got closer to where the arrow had been shot from, she could hear something that was pounding against the ground. It was approaching far too fast to be something anyone on the Gremory side had. Pulling out her sword and dagger combo, she prepared herself as best she could.

A giant wolf bathed in blue flames stormed into her presence and just as she registered that it was there, something was thrown at her. She brought up her blades just in time as Kiba, the Gremory Knight, slammed into her guard full force sending her skidding back leaving large furrows from where she braced her legs. That small distraction saw the wolf bound off clearly hunting down the other members of her group.

"I am a Knight of Rias Gremory, I have come to challenge you! Have at you!" Kiba shouted as he released a flurry of slashes against his opponent.

"Fine! I, Karlamine, shall strike you down!" Karlamine screamed back allowing her weapons to do the talking.

For all their talk of combat both were extreme of their swings. Kiba placed more power behind each attack remembering his time fighting Ritsuka and channeling that experience into his current duel. Karlamine was still in a slight stupor due to seeing a giant wolf being ridden by a human but she didn't let up with her own skills, parrying each strike sent her way.

That didn't mean that they were easy to parry. Each swing nearly clipped her hair and each time he lunged forward saw her being pushed back. From the research they had done, he would have taken a more formal combat style rather than this highly aggressive charge he was doing.

'Why is he fighting so differently!?' Karlamine mentally shined as she realized that she was being forced to fight harder than she first expected. The sound of steel against steel echoed through the plains as the two knights showed no quarter to each other.
