Devastate was not about to let Smaug do whatever he wanted, but Belle was his top priority. He could keep running, only then to be easily overpowered due to him wasting his energy. The behemoth clicked his tongue, "Belle I have to fight."
Belle looked at him worried, "No!"
The behemoth gave her a comforting smile, "I will return to you. Trust me."
Belle's eyes shook with many emotions, she was so against him fighting again. "I...!"
Devastate continued to run, he got close to a tree as he shifted Belle up and off his back. Belle grabbed a hold of a branch high in the trees. She struggled to get up onto the branch, as she looked down did she see Devastate turn around and stood in front of the tree that Belle was in.
Smaug slowed down, he smirked looking at Devastate. "You won't get away this time."
Devastate bared his fangs, "You're a stubborn bastard."
Smaug looked to his pets who backed down, his massive frame began walking around the rex while he popped his neck. "What is that rat to you rex?"
Devastate growled loudly, "None of your business!?!"
Smaug looked up to where the raptor was, the rex threw her up high into the trees. "I'm curious, why would a rex care so much for a rat?"
Devastate glared hard at Smaug, he charged forward. "Shut up!?!"
Smaug smiled excited for another fight, he right away smacked Devastate in the face once he was close. The sound from the impact was hard enough to make his nose bleed.
The behemoth quickly recovered as he turned around and charged again biting Smaug's neck. A rex fighting against a spinosaurus was a heart pounding experience, both giants had strength and size on their side. However, Smaug had long arms and claws that he could use while Devastate had one arm that did little against Smaug in this fight.
Devastate's powerful jaws did more damage than Smaug's bite as he chomped down hard. Smaug's armor definitely protected him, but it could only take so much from a rex.
Smaug loudly growled as he smacked Devastate in the face, while using his other clawed hand to pull Devastate's mouth from his throat.
Belle watched in suspense and fear, she hated not being able to help Devastate. The behemoth had always done so much for her, and yet she couldn't do the same.
She hated the size difference, she wished she could do more! Belle watched each attack done to Devastate, she flinched at every one of them. The wounds he was getting scared her to no end, if he wasn't careful he could actually die.
Devastate charged at Smaug again, Smaug went for another attack with his right clawed hand. The behemoth predicated this, and opened his mouth catching Smaug's hand.
Smaug's pets watched and restlessly ran around the two fighting brutes.
Smaug made a loud sound of pain, Devastate pulled at Smaug's arm which was in his powerful jaws. Belle blinked when she noticed one of Smaug's pets coming up and biting at Devastate's legs.
Belle felt her entire body shake, she looked down and she stood up. She was not about to let Devastate die, she was going to help him.
Smaug noticed his pets attacking and yelled out, "Back off!?! This is my fight!"
Both pets backed away, Smaug got distracted by his pets long enough for Devastate to bite his chin.
The jaws from Devastate were really doing a number on Smaug, yet the spinosaurus showed no exhaustion. At least not yet.
Devastate chomped down on Smaug's chin hard, causing Smaug to yell out in both pain and annoyance.
As these two continued to fight did Belle increase her courage, she waited for her chance. She was very much scared but she was sick and tired of not being able to help Devastate. The world was against them, and if she didn't help him no one would.
Smaug went to swipe at Devastate's face, at that time Belle lunged from where she was grabbing a hold of Smaug's face. Belle using her left foot kicked her sickle claw at Smaug's left eye.
Blood spilled from the laceration on Smaug's eye that was made by Belle, "AHH!?!"
Devastate let go of Smaug's neck as he bit down on the right side of Smaug's face. The behemoth blinked in surprise when he saw Belle jump off of Smaug and leap onto his back.
How did she get there! Devastate didn't think to much on it as he threw Smaug to the side. Both of Smaug's pets moved out of the way, both beasts ran to Smaug curiously.
The behemoth snorted loudly, his face was bloody much like various places on his body. Belle looked at him very concerned, with so many wounds the blind would surely attack him.
Wounds were like magnets to the blind, but blood was another thing. One drop of blood would entice blind beasts near by.
Smaug's chest piece was broken, his eye bled heavily much like the deep bites that covered his massive frame. Both brutes glared at each other.
Smaug glared at Belle, he hissed out. "I am going to get you back for what you did to my eye!"
Devastate viciously snarled back, "You will not hurt her!?!"
Belle's entire body shivered in fear, but she looked at Smaug like she had the most powerful courage in the world. "I will not let you kill Devastate!"
The behemoth blinked before smiling, her words and crazy stunt that she pulled made his heart beat fast. She was something else!
Smaug snarled loudly as he ran at Devastate, his pets stayed out of the way.
Devastate charged at Smaug, the spinosaurus right away went to smack at Belle. Belle closed her eyes before opening them, Devastate had caught his attack. Smaug glared as went to attack with his other hand, which Devastate blocked with his mouth.
The reflexes that Devastate had were incredible, considering he was greatly roughed up with different sized wounds.
Smaug clearly didn't like his attacks being blocked, his anger clouded his judgment. "I am going to kill you both!"
Devastate quickly let go of Smaug's arm, the behemoth used his massive head to smash into Smaug's chin. Though he didn't have the use of his hands in a fight, he could still use his head as one.
Smaug was stunned by this attack but recovered, he swiped at Devastate's chest which created a deep cut.
This fight was quickly approaching its end, the last one to stand was hard to determine. Both didn't want to give up, and they both fought for a different reason.
Devastate glared as he lunged forward, Smaug was prepared to strike him again. The behemoth turned around catching Smaug off guard, Devastate attacked with his powerful tail. The attack sent Smaug to the floor, he quickly went to stand but his neck was grabbed by Devastate's jaws.
Smaug glared as he tried to get his head out of Devastate's mouth. Belle held on as best as she could, with the strong jerking from the fighting it was hard to remain on Devastate's back.
Devastate had let go of Smaug's head only to bite Smaug fully on the face, the behemoth was panting. The blood loss was causing him to tire out, he wouldn't last much longer in this fight.
Smaug roared out as he felt teeth into his face, he couldn't see anything besides red. Devastate tossed Smaug again to the side, he panted while giving a strong snort.
Smaug stood back up, his face bloody much like Devastate's. He looked at Devastate with fire in his eyes.
Both didn't say anything, it would appear that they both were evenly matched.
Smaug went to step forward before stopping and shaking his head, blood was getting into his one good eye which limited his view.
Devastate stood tall, though he panted from exhaustion. Even though he was tired he was going to keep fighting to protect Belle.
Belle really wanted to treat his wounds, but she feared that Smaug was not going to let him go. If it wasn't Baldur chasing them it was someone else.
Smaug scoffed, he shook his head as he hissed out. "Devastate..."
Devastate glared sharply not at all liking him use his name, but he guessed that Smaug recalled it from earlier when he attacked them first. Belle had screamed his name before he was attacked by Smaug.
"I am going to get pleasure out of killing you, I'm going to use your ribs as a new chest piece.", chuckled Smaug.
Devastate snorted loudly, "No you won't. I got some one to protect."
Smaug grinned, "Don't worry after I kill you I'm going to feed that rat to my pets!"
Devastate glared harshly, it was like before when he be headed that blind carnivore. "You won't!"
The behemoth went to charge but stopped to a sound, he looked to the side to see a pack of blind rexes.
Nostrils flaring aggressively, these blind beasts smelt the scent of blood. There were four of them, all of which drooled in hunger for flesh.
Devastate glared at these rexes, Smaug smirked at the blind beasts. "I will enjoy taking their bones and using them for my armor."
Though the both of them were hurt, they stood ready to fight the blind beasts.
"You better not die to these weaklings.", chuckled Smaug looking at the blind rexes.
"I'm not dying today or any other day.", snorted Devastate with determination.
The pack closed in, each step was clumsy though their viciousness could clearly be seen as they snarled like senseless killing machines.
Smaug charged at the rexes, Devastate was not far behind.
Belle held onto Devastate's back, she looked up as Devastate grabbed a blind rex on the face. Smaug next to him smacked two rexes with his claws.
Both brutes took on two rexes each by themselves, even though they were hurt they pushed on and attacked.
Devastate killed a rex by pulling it down and tearing out its throat, Smaug killed a rex by breaking its neck. It was hard to believe that these two individuals were trying to kill each other, now they were fighting alongside the other.
Devastate killed the other rex by bringing it down and ripping off its lower jaw. The behemoth panted only then to snort as he looked at Smaug.
Smaug had the upper and lower jaw of the blind rex within his clawed hands, he pulled its mouth apart until he broke its jaws.
He let it go and let its lifeless body fell to the ground.
Silence occurred between both brutes, they both killed two rexes by themselves. They definitely were evenly matched.
Smaug looked at Devastate with a nasty smirk, "I knew you were a worthy opponent."
Devastate glared at him, "You're the biggest pain in my ass."
Though these two wanted to kill each other there was a strange respect that they had for the other. There was no doubt that these two were destined to be rivals, after all they both were greatly strong.
No matter how hard they would fight, they would be equal. If they had kept fighting the both of them would pass out and there would be no winner.
Smaug looked at his pets, before saying. "I wanna kill you but if I did that we both would die."
Devastate snorted, "I wouldn't be so sure, you can't kill a stubborn bastard."
Belle looked at Devastate before looking at Smaug with a unknown look, she really wanted to leave.
Smaug chuckled, "Then that means I need to get stronger so I can kill you."
Devastate glared, "In that case I'll train harder! I will not leave Belle alone!"
Smaug looked at Devastate before smirking, he stalked off with his pets behind him. "We will definitely meet again."
Devastate watched him go and snorted, the behemoth walked away in a opposite direction. Belle smiled softly glad to get away from that experience. Belle was going to try her hardest as well, she was not going to let Devastate do all the work.
