Undyne was the first to act when the - literal - timberwolves charged. Her spear, thrown with full strength, hit the closest wolf head on, pierced through its head and into its body until almost half the shaft's length was buried in the wolf. But as the spear vanished, the wolf fell apart and two more promptly took its place, undeterred. They were fragile, but it twenty of them against only four individuals that had invaded their territory. Had they known better, perhaps they would have fled. But they did not, and so they attacked.
As Undyne summoned a new spear she was momentarily exposed, which two of the wolves took as an opportunity to jump, baring their wooden fangs. She raised her arm to defend, but before either of the two could reach her Ice Bear, who had been just to her left, brought his Fire Axe down on its neck. The freshly sharpened blade cleanly decapitated one wolf and he kicked the other one's stomach, throwing it off course so it flew past the group on the ground. As he put his foot on the wolf on the ground and pulled his axe out of the smouldering carcass he looked at her.
"Thanks, big guy", Undyne said and grinned. She summoned a second spear because the wolves, taken aback by the resistance of their prey, now took to circling them, looking for openings and thus giving them time to reassemble themselves.
"Ice Bear is happy to help", the bear replied and shook the axe to remove the chips of wood on it. Meanwhile, the wolves had formed a circle around them as they moved counter-clockwise, always looking out for an opportunity to strike. The one that had been kicked away had also rejoined the group, leaving them with eighteen - that is until one attempted to leap at Ice Bear as his back was turned and was promptly shot down by Guu's fist. Floating overhead she was both untouchable to the wolves and had an overview of the situation, able to intervene when necessary.
"Sans?"
"i'm right here", said the skeleton. Having stood between Undyne and Ice Bear during the skirmish so far, he had not become a target yet. This lazybones hadn't even removed his hands from his pockets!
"Help us out here. If we stand back-to-back we can defend each other." She thrusted both spears forward and drove back another pair of wolves which attempted to flank Ice Bear, but didn't get close enough to land a decisive blow. The bear himself didn't need a prompt: he backed up and stood shoulder-to-shoulder against Undyne, leaving Sans to complete the triangle. The wolves tightened their circle but still did not attack.
Then a particularly large timberwolf, the largest member of the pack, split itself from the pack, and with it five of the other wolves followed, attacking far more fiercely than the single ones before. Undyne blocked a bite with her spear, but the energy weapon dissolved as the large wolf's jaws bit through it, snapping it in half. Guu continued to punch from her vantage point, but could only take out two of the six wolves. As Ice Bear struggled with a wolf that had bitten the handle of his Fire Axe and tried to wrestle it from his grip, he too was busy. But before the situation could really get hairy the large wolf was hit by a large white beam that sent it flying until it smashed into a tree. It was more resistant than its smaller companions and stood back up, but several pieces of bark and twigs fell off its body as it did.
"What...!" She turned to look where that beam had come from, but all she caught a glimpse of was some large white shape disappearing. And Sans bringing his hand up to scratch his nasal cavity with his pinky, as if the fight didn't concern him at all. "Sans! Did you do that?"
"no idea what you're talking about." From the angle he stood at to Undyne, she could not see that his eye was slowly fading from yellow back to blue.
"But I..." She looked up at Guu who was focusing her attention onto what presumably was the Alpha wolf. "... never mind. Just try to give us a hand here."
"i would, but i need it myself."
"... Ice Bear wants to smack Sans after this is over."
