Rise of the Lycan Queen

Challengers

Ashley watched as the young man entered the ring behind her, and stripped his clothes off as he transformed into a 7 foot Lycan. Ashley actually laughed when she saw that, and did not bother to transform immediately. She remembered her training with Hammer, and knew she would anger him further just by refusing to meet him in battle as equals. She smiled when he roared at her, and charged him as she ducked under a swipe from his claws before she got 3 body shots in and jumped away before he could react.

The Lycan was stunned as the whole crowd had heard ribs cracking with each hit, and the blood he spat out was a sign the injuries were more extensive than could be seen. The Lycan stumbled a bit before he was forced to revert back, his Lycan trying to heal 3 broken ribs, a punctured and collapsed lung, and a bruised kidney.

"Last chance to surrender before I attack again." she said as he swayed a little struggling to breathe.

"I concede to your strength." he said before he fell sideways as medical personnel stormed the ring.

Ashley watched as they assembled the stretcher and put the man on it headed for the medical ward. "Who's next?" she demanded as another of them stood.

"Captain Neebar challenges." he said before he began his approach.

Ashley watched as he did, assessing what she could by the way he walked. It did not take him long, and she could hear the werewolves making bets on how long he would last. Most were giving him 2 minutes without changing, and 30 seconds of she did.

"You are aware he trains all of our warriors?" one of the Lycan Omegas asked him.

Hammer laughed as he looked at the man. "So? I assure you that young woman has been well trained." he said with a smile.

"Wolf training, ha!" the man replied making his friends laugh with him.

"200 on the girl." Hammer said with a smile.

"Just to win? Done." the man replied high giving his friends as Hammer nodded.

'How bad you want me to embarrass him?' Ashley asked mind linking him.

'Up to you Princess, have fun.' he replied mind linking her.

Ashley smiled as the Captain entered the ring, and she could tell his defenses were on high expecting her to rush him as he entered.

He scoffed as she allowed him to enter the ring fully, and approach the line. "It seems I have much to teach you about combat?" he said as he looked at her.

"About your cheap tricks so you can tie me up in the ropes? Nice try, learned that when I was 3 little wolf." Ashley said mocking him making the Lycans laugh when she said that. She was 5'2" in human form, and most knew that Lycans only gained 2 feet. Needbar was 6'4, and his Lycan stood 8'2". Only the Prince was bigger, and not by much. "How about you save the offer of training me, until you can actually beat me."

Neebar nodded as that had indeed been his intent when he was entering, and most fell for it in these challenges. "How do you wish to proceed?" he asked making her growl.

"Are you asking me what the Rules are?" she asked him and he nodded. The roar she released shook the windows in their frames, and a few of the glasses on the table shattered with more pouring their contents all over the table. "When you enter this ring with me, there is one rule. WIN!" she roared before she rushed him and landed a leaving kick square to his chest. "The next one who asks, shall meet my WOLF!" she roared as she flew in using her Wolf speed and landed 4 hits to his solid gut before she jumped back as he swung at her. He was wise to stay in human form as his wolf began healing him quickly.

Neebar attacked on his own, and Ashley could tell he was exquisitely trained in combat. He was atleast equal to Hammer, and might be slightly better. They traded blows there in the center of the ring, the exhibition going strong as she matched him move for move. Neither could really gain an advantage, and after 5 minutes most of those who had bet on time had just lost completely as neither showed signs of weakening or slowing. Neither had the time to even change before the next attacks would come in, and the blows were nothing short of devastating if they landed.

Neebar landed a kick that sent her flying back several feet before he exploded into his wolf form in a matter of seconds. It took a lot of energy to do this, but he had mastered the drain many years ago as Ashley laughed at how big he was.

In a flash she had slid behind him, jumped on his back and wrapped her arms around his neck before she put her feet in his back and threw him clear across the ring. He thrashed for a moment before he realized he was hopelessly tied up in the ropes. Exactly what he had wanted to do to her when she got in the ring.

Ashley got up and laughed when she saw his predicament as he changed back.

"Well done, I concede you have the strength to rule." the man said as he bowed his head to her. She helped him untangle his arms, and stand before she stepped back.

"Excellent fight Captain. The rest are lucky if you are the one that conducts training." Ashley said offering her hand for him to shake. He looked at her warily before he grasped her arm at the wrist, and shook it once.

"You will have to introduce me to the one who trained you, he could be extremely helpful to compare notes with." Neebar said knowing it had been an honorable loss.

Ashley nodded as she walked to the center of the ring, and saw that Ladron was attempting to convince his son not to do this.

"Prince Hunter, son of Ladron, son of Demetri challenges for the Lycan Throne." He declared for everyone.

Ashley could tell as hard a fight as Neebar had been, the Prince was going to be even more challenging. He stood just she of 7 feet tall, and she could tell he had dreamed of the opportunity to do just this. Before he even entered the ring he was changing to his Lycan, and she smiled as she watched. He was massive, coming in at 8'10" when he was fully changed.

The crowd was placing bets again, and the Wolves were letting the Lycans set the amounts. They watched as he got to the edge of the ring, and launched clean into the ring. As he landed the crowd watched Ashley shift in nearly the blink of an eye, when he looked up and stood, the crowd gasped.

Ashley's Lycan stood at 9'5", and her snow white coat was glistening as she roared at him with all of her power. Nearly every Lycanthrope was forced to their knees because of the Aura, only the two Prince's able to resist the challenge of the Reigning Monarch. She launched herself nearly faster than he could track, and was unable to prevent her blows from drilling into his core as bones snapped before she picked him up and threw him from the ring before she roared again.

Before the Prince cleared the ropes and was caught by the medical staff, he had changed back fighting the pain she had inflicted quickly. As soon as it was clear he would not be able to stand, she lifted her head and howled to the sky. Most all of the Lycans joined at the same time the Wolves did,
