The Hybrid

The Beast growled, howling into the air as the wind around them picked up. His teeth bore out as his eyes pierced through Raven's eyes. She stared straight back at them. She didn't even flinch as the Beast dash in front of her. It stood over her, what seemed to be five feet taller than her. She kept her glare at him. "I'm not afraid to face you," Raven cooly chided. She wasn't expecting what happened next.

"I... Smell... FEEEEAAAAR," It growled in decibels lower than any voice that Raven heard. She could only equate it to a demon's voice. But it could speak? She wasn't prepared for that. But its grin showed Raven that it had no intention being nice. In fact, he seemed to take pride in the fact he had surprised her. Raven returned to her glare.

"I said I'm not afraid of facing you. I am afraid," She admitted openly. Then her smirk shown through. "But I'm not afraid to fight." She quickly glowed red, pulled her hand back, and punched the Beast with a devastating Earthquake punch. The Beast flew back, tumbling several times before digging his feet into the ground, stopping his backward momentum. As his muzzle turned up to snarl at Raven, a fist rammed into his face, forcing him to the ground. He growled rubbing his sore muzzle.

"GRAAAH!"

"Shut up and fight," Raven said with a stern glare and a fierce fighting stance. The Beast charged her, running faster than Kadiba would normally run. Raven managed to block his snarling advance, stopping his right arm from hitting her. She quickly found herself on the ground when the Beast swept her legs. Before he could pin her down, she rolled away from him, springing up into the air using her flying powers. She knew she couldn't stay in the air for long when the Beast jumped up with its powerful legs, but that didn't bother her. While he was in the air, Raven got the jump on him. "Tail of the Tiger," She said. Suddenly, she grew a tail, wrapped it around the Beast's leg. The creature was too confused to react when she grabbed onto his furry chest and turned him parallel to the ground. She then flew straight to the ground using him as a shield as the Beast took the full blow.

"GAHH!" He coughed out as Raven quickly rolled off and started heading towards the gem. But it was hard to run properly with a tail, so she just started running on all fours.

"Ugh, how does Tigress do this?" She complained. Just as her focus on the tail disappeared, she ran into a furry wall, making her stumble back. "Uh oh."

"Enough!" the Beast Shouted, swatting her backward with the back of his hand. While it knocked Raven back, she was quick to get up. All that training with Tigress really paid off. She got up just in time to block both of the Beast's hands from grabbing her. Her strength and his were equally matched as they struggled to overpower the other, but the Beast had height on his side and began pushing her back. As the gripping under her feet gave way, she immediately thought of something... almost cartoonish.

"Size of the Elephant!" She shouted. Without warning, the Beast witnessed Raven grow in size (Along with her clothes) to the height of an elephant, about a foot above the already tall Beast.

"*Whine*" The Beast whined as Raven punched his torso, sending him back. She shrunk back to normal size and made a mad dash to the gem, but the Beast wasn't about to give up. Raven was tackled to the ground, her arms and legs pinned down underneath the growling and roaring Beast as drool dripped from his muzzle.

"GAHH!" Raven grunted as she felt one of the Beast's claws digging into her left arm's flesh. She couldn't force her way out, but she did have an ace up her sleeve. The Beast was about to roar again when a kick to the face knocked him off of Raven. He looked at the assailant to see three of Raven's copies standing with her. The real Raven quickly healed her bleeding arm and readied herself for another attack. The Beast had speed, but Raven knew how to tackle that. As the Beast dashed towards her, Raven's clones threw her up into the air. The Beast jumped to tackle the one in the air, but the three Raven clones grabbed onto him and pulled him down. The Beast quickly swatted the clones into clouds of smoke. As he looked up, he saw Raven descending, driving her fist into the ground and making a huge crater in the ground.
