The scrab picked itself up and galloped at the steef facing him. He charged to one side and drew the steefs arms out ready to grab him, then with great agility turned to the opposite side of the steef and stabbed at him with his great beak. But the steefs armour protected him and despite the scrabs strength, he merely forced a dent in the armour and caused the steef a slight discomfort. This didn't stop Big Red though and he continued to charge around the steef in circles stabbing furiously while the steefs arms flailed hopelessly. However the steef managed to keep his vunerable sides clear of the scrabs attacks. The scrabs generated energy had now left him and his mouth was throbbing painfully so he charged off in search of water scooping up a dead mudokon in one swift movement.
The steef gasped after the scrab had left and was heavily winded from the dents in his own armour jabbing into his torso.
