The beast man stopped and stared at the wall of fire in front of him. He crossed his arms, and seemed to fall quiet. This was quickly remedied as he burst into a loud fit of laughter.
"Foolishness?"
Udyr turned around and stared at Brand with the largest smile he had ever cracked on his face. "You wish to speak of foolishness? Then answer us a single question: Do you know what the law of entropy is? You no undoubtedly do, yet here you are, angry. Here you are, grumbling. Here you are, acting so much like the beings your abhor. You are no better than us Brand. After all, to err is...human."
The proof that the state is a creation of nature and prior to the individual is that the individual, when isolated, is not self-sufficing; and therefore he is like a part in relation to the whole. But he who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god.

Brand crossed his arms as well, flames continuing to rise around him the earth actually splitting apart at his feet. He made no movements, merely standing with his arms crossed.
You speak of entropy, and the eventual end of all things, yet you also speak of transcending death.
I am not of your universe.
This "law" is not mine to follow.
Your contradictive rambling is as pointless as your goals.
The surrounding vegetation didn't even have time to burn; simply becoming ash, and floating away as the ground split beneath it.

"To transcend the idea of death, yes," the beast man grunted, still smiling. "That means to not fear it. To accept that it is an eventuality, and instead of lying about it, thinking that they have accepted their fate..."
Udyr's eyes had a wicked glean to them. "I do not run from death. I know it is an eventuality that comes for all. Your existence, is absolutely meaningless, because with or without you, all things will end. You may not be of this universe, but there is a reason why there is only one truth in all of existence: All will die. You are as susceptible to death as anything and everyone else."
Udyr's aura shifted. White flames started to cloak his body, his muscles seemed to become engorged and each step he took sent out a gust of wind. He reached up, grabbed his gi and tore it off. A kick of his feet and his sandals flew up into the bundled up cloth. This was followed by him slipping the beads he usually wore off his neck and his wrists and placed them with his sandals. Udyr hurled the balled up clothing at an angle skyward and continued his march towards Brand.
"There is no such thing as luck," he growled, a mad smile on his face. "No maybes in the realm of truths and falsities, and no blue in a world of black and white. There are the living, and there are the dead. You and I, are alive."
The ground around Udyr exploded as he took off running straight at Brand, no sign of fear in his face. Each step he took would only create larger fissures in the already cracked earth. If it were any other champion, the heat Udyr was exuding would be unbearable, white heat able to sear the very bones of lesser men with a single flicker.
To a being like Brand, it would feel like an ember at most.
The beast man barreled down at Brand, aiming to cave the Burning Vengeance's face in with a single killing blow, his fingers readied to tear through the steel carapace with disgusting ease. How sane of an action this was, one could only assume the worst.

The screech of metal being crushed rang out across the landscape. Udyr's fist sank deep into the elemental's metallic shell, bending it out of shape before shattering it apart, transforming the vaguely recognizable "face" into a twisted clutter of jagged projections, roughly toothlike in the manner they been rearranged.
It was as if the world had ceased turning; Udyr hung in the air, his fist planted into Brand's steel head casing.
Then there came a sound. Quiet at first, a crackle of flame that grew into a roaring cacophony of rage that nearly deafened the beast man, an expression of uncontainable anger so strong that it nearly obtained a physical presence.
In the blink of an eye, the elemental's claw was wrapped around Udyr's wrist, removing his fist from it's impact site with an audible metallic crunch. The broken visage behind the beast man's fist coming into view; a chaotic and broken expression of wrath complete with eyes of white-hot flame, and a jagged maw of broken metal.

Udyr nodded. He wordlessly agreed with Brand.
Enough talk indeed.
The beast man opened his fist, flipped it downwards and grabbed at Brand's metallic wrist in an awkward angle. He violently tugged backwards in order to try and pull Brand closer to him while he aimed his free hand at the center of the elemental's steel chest.
Udyr had no fear. Death was not something to be scared of. He would see if today was the day he would fall.

Udyr's fist whistled as it sliced through the air, narrowly missing it's intended target; His adversary had feinted to the left, rushing past the animal spirit as he was pulled, and using the momentum to his advantage. Flame explode from the ground beneath Udyr, sending him into the air, still entwined with Brand's wrist.
Brand twisted his torso, his entire body from his legs to his fingertips assisting in this single motion; the elemental's metal frame screeched in protest as it's inhabitant heaved his opponent against the earth, several containment vials on his arm shattering in tandem with the impact zone.

Udyr let out a grunt of surprise at Brand's maneuverability. He had not expected the Burning Vengeance to be able to not only predict his attack pattern, but feint him. Udyr felt himself get pulled, then slammed into the ground.
The amount of force that slammed into the beast man's chest made him cough out a cloud of blood, yet he did not look deterred. He remained focus, primal fury swirling in his eyes. One moment, his eyes looked amphibious, the next, feline; then the next, bear like, and the next, eagle like. They seemed to meld into one as his own fiery aura attempted to intensify itself.
Brand would feel the strength of Udyr's grip on his wrist triple as he tightened it. With a roar. he swung the entire metal hulk backwards in an attempt to slam the being using only one arm, empowered though he was.
