A brilliant flash illuminates one of the vast caves in the underground network of the Caverns area. When it fades, Dragus looks around. His eyes need no adjustment, as the cave is well lit. Massive pillars of stone are scattered all around. He doesn’t see his opponent though...

A second beam of light illuminated the caverns for a moment before fading rapidly. Dragus squinted into the light before it faded, finally revealing his opponent. What he found, was Harbinger. The spiny reptile had been in a funk since the Brawler tournament concluded. True, he had won the tournament, but the way he was defeated afterwards had bothered him. Not the loss in and of itself, as defeat was inevitable for one who sought battle as a way of life, but the speed and humiliation of it.
If Harbinger was to become stronger himself, he would need to get back in the game. And doing so meant he needed to fight. Dragus might have been large and physically imposing, but Harbinger was not deterred. He had faced worse before. He bellowed a challenge as he slammed his fists into the ground. This cave would mark the start of his comeback, and the grave of his opponent.

Harbinger’s challenge is answered immediately and with equal force, Dragus stomping his foot on the sandy cave floor and roaring in defiance. With the “introductions” over with, the two reptilian beasts charge each other, a thunderous boom echoing through the cavern as they meet each other mid-way.
Dragus easily gets the worse end of the initial collision, having both a strength and slight weight disadvantage. As the two of them grapple, though, the white spots on Dragus’ back begin to flicker. A moment later he slams his hands against Harbinger’s sides and surges electricity into the brown beast. As Harbinger roars and recoils in pain, Dragus delivers a powerful headbutt, making him stumble back further.
Seeking to capitalize, Dragus spins around, swinging his tail at his opponent. A costly mistake, as Harbinger recovers faster than he’d expected. The armored saurian catches the tail and, utilizing his massive strength, swings Dragus like a baseball bat into a nearby stalagmite which shatters like glass under the impact.
Dragus quickly gets up despite what just happened, bellowing in fury and charging forward. Now it’s Harbinger’s turn to be caught off-guard by his opponent’s recovery time, as Dragus slams into him, sinking his teeth into the base of Harbinger’s neck, just above the left shoulder. The armored warrior roars in pain and shoves Dragus away, the chimera’s teeth ripping free of his flesh. As Dragus stumbles back, he fires his Heat beam, aiming for Harbinger’s chest.

Harbinger ducked and took the heat breath across the back, his scutes absorbing most of the damage. Smoke rose into the air as Harbinger snarled back at Dragus. He might have been resistant to heat, but that last strike still stung. Also, this wasn't the first time Harbinger had faced a target with both strength and firepower. As Dragus prepared to fire again, Harbinger rapidly closed the distance between them and smashed a digging spike into the side of Dragus' face, drawing blood and a cry of pain from the hybrid, as well as throwing him aside. Harbinger, not one to ignore an advantage, grabbed Dragus by the horns and smashed his face into the ground, cratering the rock beneath them and further bloodying Dragus' snout.
Harbinger's assault is brought to an early close however, as Dragus swated at him with one taloned hand, managing to catch Harbinger across the chest. The trio of wounds are little more than scratches, but it is enough to make Harbinger back up for a second. But that second is all Dragus gets as a reprieve, as Harbinger wrenched loose a stalagmite and clobbered Dragus over the head with it, smashing the back of Dragus' head and pulverizing his own makeshift weapon.
With Dragus down for the moment, Harbinger grabbed the hybrid by the horns again and prepared to smash Dragus' head into the rock...

And Dragus’ face does indeed get smashed into the rock. But as Harbinger lifts his head up to do it again, the spots on his back begin to flicker. Remembering what happened last time, Harbinger quickly lets go of Dragus’ horns and takes a step back. This proves futile, as bolts of electricity leap from the horns and strike the armored saurian. Harbinger roars in pain as his muscles contract involuntarily.
Rising to his feet, Dragus unleashes his Heat Beam again, this time nailing his stunned opponent in the chest. Another howl of pain echoes through the cavern as Harbinger stumbles back with smoke rising from the scorch mark on his chest.
Pressing his advantage, Dragus lunges forward and slams his jaws shut on the same spot he’d done previously, at the base of Harbinger’s neck just above the left shoulder, his momentum toppling Harbinger over while he hangs on tight. He then quickly stands up, ripping his head back and taking several pieces of flesh with him in the process. Opening his blood-dripping maw with a roar that sends blood and bits of meat flying from it, Dragus thrusts his head down again to take another bite.

Harbinger snarled as he grabbed the incoming beast by the throat, having stopped the fearsome set of teeth mere feet from his throat. Dragus snapped his jaws in frustration as the familiar aura of his heat beam gathered in the back of his throat. Harbinger reacted quickly, planting a foot in Dragus' gut before kicking the mammoth saurian off of him and into a cluster of rocks, which Dragus' mass easily smashed through. Dragus shook his head, trying to clear the spots from his vision, as he heard a strange noise. When he turned to face Harbinger again, half expecting another stalagmite to the face, he was surprised to see Harbinger had vanished, leaving a hole in the ground in his wake. Dragus snarled as he watched the ground for the faintest sign of an attack from below. What he should have done, was look up, as the ceiling began to collapse onto his head, courtesy of Harbinger. The brown brawler had burrowed into the ceiling, dropping a few thousand tons of rock on Dragus' head.
Harbinger approached the debris pile carefully, as he could see a few of Dragus' limbs sticking out of it. However, he had not counted on his opponent being so resilient, as Dragus burst from the rocks, nailing Harbinger with a gut-punch/uppercut combo. Harbinger staggered back from the blows but recovered quickly as he nailed Dragus in the chest with a digging spike, drawing a spray of blood and a cry of pain from the purple saurian, before whipping around and attempting to rake his tail blades across Dragus face...

But Dragus sees the attack coming and twists his neck, catching the incoming tail with his jaws, just in front of the weaponized scutes at its tip. Some of the scutes along the top of the tail cut into the roof of his mouth, but it’s certainly better than the alternative. With a snarl, Dragus spins, swinging Harbinger around and smashing the armored saurian through a pillar of rock just as Harbinger had done to him at the start of the match.
Releasing the tail, Dragus fires his Heat Beam, raking it across Harbinger’s body. He then delivers a series of powerful stomps to his opponent’s stomach. With Harbinger still feeling the effects of that, Dragus raises his foot again, this time intending to bring it crashing down on the prone monster’s head.

Harbinger grunted as Dragus brought his weight down on his head. Dragus kept the pressure on, as he ground the brown brawler's face into the rock. But Harbinger wasn't out of the fight yet. He managed to get one arm free and nailed Dragus in the knee with a digging-spike assisted punch. Dragus howled in pain as he fell over, clutching his knee, which gave Harbinger the chance to rise. The brown saurian wiped blood from his maw and spat out a damaged tooth, but was still in decent condition. Before Dragus could retaliate, Harbinger grabbed the horned beast by the tail and slung him into a wall, smashing more rock and leaving a nice Dragus-shaped dent in the wall.
As Dragus picked himself off the ground, Harbinger was already upon him, as he doubled the monster over with a quick one-two punch to the gut, followed by an uppercut before smashing Dragus across the chest with the flat of his tail. Dragus groaned as he tried to regain his breath, as Harbinger continued the assault, digging spikes extended this time...

As the blow approaches Dragus, bolts of electricity discharge from the chimera’s horns, striking Harbinger and stopping him in his tracks. Then with a roar, Dragus lowers his head and rams the armored saurian in the gut with his horns. They don’t penetrate the skin, but it’s still enough to knock the wind out of Harbinger momentarily as Dragus drives him backwards a short distance.
Harbinger quickly recovers, though, and digs his claws into the ground to bring them to a stop. Realizing he’s getting nowhere, Dragus turns his head and bites down on Harbinger’s thigh, making the brown saurian roar in pain as streams of blood quickly begin to run down his leg. Harbinger almost immediately responds in kind, leaning down and clamping his own jaws onto the purple saurian’s back.
As the two reptilian behemoths tear into each other with their respective jaws, Dragus’ electrical organs begin to flicker, preparing to unleash a surge through his body...

Dragus's attack goes through, but still managed to backfire on him, in a manner of speaking. As Harbinger's form was surged with electricity, his jaws clamped shut even tighter around Dragus' shoulder, causing the horned behemoth to bellow in agony. Try as he might, he couldn't seem to dislodge Harbinger. When Harbinger finally regained control of his body he disengaged himself from Dragus, along with a chunk of his adversary's shoulder. As Dragus bellowed in pain, Harbinger nailed him across the jaw with a digging spike-assisted punch, knocking Dragus sideways before Harbinger charged him head-on, smashing into Dragus' torso and driving the beast back into the wall.
Harbinger then grabbed Dragus by the throat and prepared to beat the life out of his face with the other hand...

Dragus is quicker on the draw though, firing off his Heat Beam and striking Harbinger point-blank in the face. The armored saurian howls in pain and stumbles back, clutching his face. Taking advantage of the opening, Dragus delivers a powerful body check to the reeling Harbinger, knocking the monster to the ground.
With his opponent down, Dragus raises his foot up and prepares to bring it down on Harbinger’s chest. But Harbinger catches the foot, holding it at bay before wrenching it painfully sideways, sending the purple saurian toppling to the ground with a cry of pain. With that, Harbinger rolls to his feet and stands up, interlocking the fingers of both hands and raising them over his head in preparation for delivering a devastating blow to his opponent’s ribs. Seeing this, Dragus slams his jaws shut on Harbinger’s ankle and starts to stand up, pulling the brown saurian off balance and toppling to the ground once again. He gives the appendage a quick shake, sawing his teeth through the flesh some more. Then, keeping the ankle gripped in his jaws, Dragus raises his foot again, aiming to stomp on Harbinger’s stomach.

Dragus' foot slammed into Harbinger's slightly less armored stomach, making the brown saurian wheeze in pain as the air was knocked out of his lungs. But Harbinger had a fighting instinct fueled by decades of combat and did not give in so easily. He lashed out with his other foot, repeatedly kicking Dragus in the face and forcing the horned behemoth to relinquish his grip, leaving him with a bloody nose and some chipped teeth. Harbinger, however, still had to deal with his wounded leg. The ankle would support his weight for now, but how much longer?
Harbinger returned to his feet as quickly as he could as Dragus bounded forward, jaws open and ready to strike. Harbinger quickly nailed him in the gut as a return payment with both fists, doubling Dragus over and leaving him vulnerable. Harbinger decided that it was time to throw his weight around, literally, as he scaled a rather large rocky column nearby. Dragus was slowly getting to his feet as Harbinger leaped from the column and curled into a ball, smashing his full body weight down on Dragus' back, flattening the other monster beneath him as well as lacerating his body due to Harbinger's bladed scutes.
Harbinger shook his head as he crawled off Dragus, as he didn't want to suffer a retaliatory lightning blast at this range, before grabbing Dragus by the tail and preparing to smash him into the wall...
