Noctisardor Bypass Balans Nebes i Ada《Balance of Heaven and Hell》

He'd been taught many ways of fighting, many different styles. With his natal pack made out of wolves coming from all around the world, it was only natural for his father to learn their fighting ways and teach them to his sons. Only the best for my sons, the voice of his father echoed in his head, true, it was obvious that nearly killing him and exiling him from his home was done because Aku thought it was the best for him. Thanks a lot dad, you're brilliant. He thought half sarcastically, half genuinely. It was because of his brutal training that he was alive now, and fighting.

Shadow could see they were both mainly focused on defense, trying to bait the other to make the mistake that would ultimately end with either of them dead. The Roman would make sure it was not him, he had lots to live for, he had wolves he needed to lead, friends he needed to protect, this Russian had nothing. Alright, he had the fucking girl, but he only had her and no one else. If he died, only one wolf would remember him. But if the platinum male died, the whole pack would be affected and he'd be damned if Vector led the Bypass.

At least he knew they would be in good paws, the paws of an unpredictable assassin. Not really safe...but better than douchebag Scimitar he supposed.

The tip of Vect's fangs grazed his hind leg but did not draw blood, his ruthless training and carefully honed skills keeping him alive. Shadow was not as strong as Scimitar, yet he still managed to defeat the larger stronger wolf, why? Because he was faster, speedier and he evaded all of the older wolf's attacks, nimbly inserting his own quick but deadly ones. He planned to use the same tactic on his recon opponent, but it might fail considering the wolf in front of him seemed to be agile and strong at the sametime.

Ah well, Shadow had lots of backup plans...

Keeping to on his defensive side, Shadow kept circling, silently goading the Russian to strike.
