Ryan watched as the mutated dog-thing paced around in a circle. He stopped breathing for a moment, and his heartbeat began to slow down significantly. The beast looked at him in confusion. It must have been confused over the low heart rate.
But alas, it did not ponder on the subject, the and monstrosity ran at full stride, intending to crush him most likely. So much for tactics. Ryan still didn't make a move. It was better that way. He had more time to think. The beast was almost on top of him....
But it never touched the ground. Ryan focused the wind into the palm of his hand, and he delivered an uppercut combined with his Lucen powers. The beast flew up into the air, and Ryan leaped up to it. While dazed, the beast was still able to make a few swipes at his arms, cutting them. The cuts were not deep, but they weren't measly paper cuts either. Ignoring his wounds, he grabbed it's neck, and began to force it into the ground....
Where Ryan had created a stalagmite. The beast became impaled on it as he landed. For a moment, the animal had stopped moving..
Ryan walked up to the beast, thinking it had died. He began to take out and light a cigarette in order to calm him down.
Wrong. As Ryan came near it, the beast swiped at him. It screamed as it tried to regenerate the lost tissue... but was prevented from doing so because the stalagmite did not allow the formation of new tissue. It roared and moved it's legs in a feeble attempt to kill Ryan.
"Oy. Doesn't Z train you? Sit boy, I can't smoke with all this noise and disruption."
The dog continued to clamor around, seemingly ignoring his comment.
"Down, BOY."
Ryan then smashed the beast's skull in with the bottom of his boot. The beast then stopped completely. This time, it did not get up... but it's head was already growing back. he sighed, knowing it would be back up in a few minutes.
Ryan left the cage and continued smoking. He needed to calm his nerves down anyway...
