Edgar lunged forward and slashed the Bear across the side with his dual blades, He then swung his other leg around in a circle and hit the beast on the back pushing it backwards. 
As it fell to its knees, he took advantage of his position to slash the Bear's muzzle again with a straight line.
Edgar smiled smugly as the Bear writhed in agony as it clutched its injured face.
The Bear was weak due to the fight with the Rock Wolves and Edgar was taking advantage of its weakened state to deal maximum damage .
He spat flames of fire on top of the Bears forehead and head, then jumped back avoiding its paws.
The animal stood up again but its injuries were severe and was finding it very difficult to move.
Edgar jumped behind it and swung both of his blades , tearing a huge chunk of flesh off its hind legs causing it to fall heavily to the ground again.
GROWLLLLLL !
GROWL ! 
GROWL !
The Fire Bear screamed in pain as he shot up abruptly and for the first time in the battle landed a successful attack on Edgar.
" Dammit ! It was supposed to be weak, how did it manage to deliver such a powerful blow ". Edgar groaned as he wiped the blood from his broken nose.
He got up quickly only to get knocked back by the Fire Bear once again.
" F*ck melee, i have to use my ability "
He shot up towards the Beast and spewed massive amount of flames at it.
The Fire Bear responded by summoning a huge ball of fire that shot through Edgar's attack ,nullified it and blasted Edgar away.
He managed to jump aside but the blast threw him violently against the wall, knocking the wind from him.
He crawled on the floor and regained his composure, then looked around trying to find his way back out.
His body was badly injured,his face was a mess.
It was burnt badly and he felt drained.
" I can't...what was I thinking? That I could take on a Rank 2 Beast all by myself?"
" It's not even fighting at full strength yet I can't...I can't even best it. What am I gonna do?"
Before Edgar could regain his footing, he was pushed back by a heavy punch sending him tumbling on the ground with a loud thud.
" Damn it! " he growled out of annoyance.
The Fire Bear struck again, hitting him in the stomach and throwing him into the opposite wall.
The walls trembled, dust flew everywhere.
The ceiling started falling down and Edgar couldn't move.
The floor collapsed beneath him and the debris filled the room.
" This is bad!" Edgar gasped as the debris crushed on him.
" Someone...is trying to break into the den. I hope it's not... another Beast . "
He watched as the rubble began to lift, revealing a large hole in the ceiling. A black silhouette came running through the gap and landed just in front of him.
" Oh an ally " Edgar smiled, his teeth dyed red with his own blood.
********************************************
Martha and Tupin were pacing about frantically as they waited for Mr. Plump to find the opening into the den.
He had ordered them to stand far away from the den while he searched around for an opening to 
 enter.
Tupin was looking over his shoulder occasionally in worry, Martha was watching the plump man nervously.
 
" Do you think Edgar will make it out?" Tupin asked. 
" Don't say such things, Tupin. Edgar is a survivor...he'll surely come out safely" . Martha answered. 
" I know that, I mean it's the Bear we are talking about here, who knows what could happen... and...he's locked in there with Wolves too...chances are slim to be honest " .
Tupin said, anxiously wringing his hands together. 
Martha sighed loudly.
" Shut up, Tupin, Mr. Plump will get in soon and rescue him. " 
" Okay. Sorry... if I offended... you" Tupin stuttered .
There was an awkward pause for some minutes until Mr. Plump finally found the entrance.
" There, this is the entrance...I've found an entrance!" 
Mr. Plump said as he examined the entrance.
A small crack was located on the ceiling of the cave. 
" Stay back ,as far back as possible. I'm going inside!" He shouted. 
Mr.Plump started hitting the crack non stop without breaking a sweat. 
" How is he doing that?" Martha asked to no one in particular as she watched Mr.Plump 'hammer' down at the cave's ceiling. 
" I'll ask him when we get out of this 'mess' " Tupim replied.
Mr.Plump continued to punch through the ceiling until a large crack formed. 
" Edgar ?"
Edgar smiled back.
" Ohh an ally " .
