“It’s no use!” muttered Former Hope under his breath, as he battled in an epic standoff against his mortal enemy, Prophylaxis the Grizzly.
Sure, he could eliminate Prophylaxis easily, but it would leave him vulnerable to an attack from the side. “Jalmont is still on the field,” thought Former Hope. A full-on frontal attack would only end in a defeat. He must bide his time.

Jalmont watched keenly as the two deadly animals battled fiercely, trading blow after blow, but with neither side having an upper hand. He had to wait for a good opportunity to enter the fray — knowing how frail he was, he couldn’t engage recklessly, lest he gets slain in a single hit.

This final battle for the Animal Kingdom grew increasingly tense, as both parties were beginning to tire out. However, the stalemate continued. It almost felt like weeks to them, even though the day had barely ended.

The edge of the horizon started to become a little more red as the two gladiators traded blow after blow. It was almost night, but there was still no clear victor in sight.
“Man, this is getting boring,” Jalmont thought to himself. His eyes grew heavy.
—
Former Hope, the mythical Silver Hedgehog, sneaked a glance towards his loathsome watchdog. He saw his chance.
“Take this!!”
The Silver Hedgehog conjured a spear out of pure light, and impaled Prophylaxis cleanly through the head. There was no yelling, there was no struggle, there was no more resistance. A fountain of blood spurted out of the wound, painting the surroundings a deep scarlet red.
—
Jalmont clutched his head in his hands as he took in the sight before him. The valiant Prophylaxis sprawled unflatteringly on the floor, pink entrails extending out of his head. There was no trace of the villain.
“But it was only for five minutes!!!” wailed Jalmont the Slakoth.

FIN
Prophylaxis was impaled in the head with a psychic spear. He was Bear, Vanilla Townie.
Former Hope has escaped. He was Silver Hedgehog, Mafia 2-Shot Redirector.
Jalmont has been endgamed. He was Fish, Messenger.
