The smell of chaos rules the air, smoke, fire, blood, fear, a true wonderland of madness. It reminded him of the days of war, the adrenaline, the madness of bullets and bombs. The pained screams of dying and injured, a good deal by his own hands. A shiver ran through Victor's spine as he remembered, a leering grin crossing his lips as his claws extended and retracted in anticipation.

The streets of downtown New York City were a mess, smashed and torn apart cars lining the roads along with dead bodies scattered here and there. It would have looked like a bomb or a tornado went off in there if it weren't for the giant claw marks just about everywhere, like marks of claim on the madness. The large feral crouched upon the corner edge of a low building roof, observing the chaos with interest that would not be quite healthy for a normal person.

Slowly yet deeply, the man sniffed, taking in the scents more carefully and searching. His head jerked as he picked up an unusual and unique scent among the stench of madness. It was the scent of another feral only....more animal than human. It was light, airy, feminine, the scent of a female obviously, sweet like vanilla and chocolate with some kind of flower dashed in. However, what was most notable about the scent was the powerful smell of fear in it, fear, pain, and anger. Now that definitely got the large feral's attention, a grin splitting across his face, earning a wary look from his brother, who was on the roof with him as well.

"Smell it Jimmy? Seems our little city-wrecker is a feral frail," Victor commented, eyes sweeping over the scene below again. "Yeah....no funny business Victor, this is a capture or kill mission, no time for your...hobbies," Logan replied sternly, knowing very well of his brother's dark behavior. The larger feral snorted but grinned otherwise, not letting his brother's warning bother him. Sure, he most likely couldn't do anything to their target, but at least he could enjoy beating and clawing the life out of them if the team couldn't capture the run-a-muck mutant. Oh how he really hoped they had to kill them.

.:Target has been seen several blocks East, move:.

The large feral grinned maliciously as he quickly leapt off from the roof, his brother following at a more cautious pace. Not even bothering to wait, the older of the two dropped to his hands and feet and took off with only speed he and possibly his brother could pull off. What Zero said seemed to be true, the scent of their target getting stronger and stronger as he came closer to where it was spotted. Victor grinned widely, the wonderful feeling of adrenaline rushing through him, welcomed like an old friend as he sped up. However, his grin was immediately wiped off when he reached the area, skidding to a halt.

He was at an intersection, nothing there but abandoned cars and a few dead bodies. His brother was soon there beside him, looking just as confused. .:What the fuck Zero, there's nothing here!:. the larger feral snarled over their mics. .:That can't be, I just saw it there!:. said member hissed back. The more quiet and cold member of the team could be seen on a rooftop nearby, looking around with a pair of binoculars, Bradley with him and looking around as well.

"Hey you two, don't start the party without us!"

Wade and Fred trotted over at the moment, looking a little winded. Victor merely growled, his fingers flexing in frustration and adrenaline still running through his veins, his eyes darting about in a narrowed glare. Not even the light touch of Logan's hand on his arm could calm him now. "Look out!" came Wraith's voice, the teleporting mutant appearing on another rooftop nearby the one Zero and Bradley were on. The warning was just in time as the four men dived out of the way as something massive dropped down with the force of what felt like a small bomb.

They watched in surprise as a massive creature, easily almost the size of an elephant stood before them on the remains of a car that had the unfortunance of being its landing pad. The thing was black, its face and scorpion stinger tail tip white. Its head was broad and long, four glowing red eyes looking at them with the maddened gleam of a crazed animal, drool dripping from a maw of sharp, dagger like teeth that could render even metal. It was on large paws with large sharp claws, rib like structures along its torso. It was at the time that the team realized what they were looking at was their target, that said creature let out a massive and deafening screeching roar, rattling the glass of every window within range and setting off some alarms, the team watching in morbid fascination as its lower jaw seemed to split into mandible like appendages, revealing a long segmented tongue and double row of dagger like teeth.

"Well shit..." Wade muttered, possibly relaying all their thoughts. "Well this is certainly going to be interesting~" Victor commented, grinning ferally as he sunk into a crouch, ready to spring. "Careful Victor, we have no idea what we're dealing with," Logan warned, joining his brother by his side. "All the funner~" the larger feral retorted, his grin still there. Without warning, he took off and lunged, flinging himself at the creature.

A shriek filled the air as the feral managed to leap high enough to land on the creature's back, sinking his claws through the thick fur and skin. Logan was not far behind, landing a bit farther along the back. The creature instantly started bucking and twisting about, trying to dislodge its attackers. Victor merely clung harder, giving a whoop of mocking delight as he held a hand up in the air like he was merely riding a bull in the rodeo.

"Show-off," Logan muttered as he clung as best as he could to the creatures back as it bucked and ran about, merely making his brother grin wider. "Hey! Don't take all the fun you two!" Wade shouted from the sidelines, his swords drawn as he chased after the three combatants, Fred following after him as fast as he could go. The sounds of bullets zipping through the air could be heard over the screeching and roaring, showing that Zero was on pursuit as well, but the creature wasn't even responding to the bullets piercing its hide like they were merely spitballs.

The creature was moving about furiously, the two ferals merely strengthening their holds, the monster like creature's moves predictable it seemed. That theory was blown clear out of the water as the creature flopped over onto its side, throwing them off as it rolled over then scrambled back up onto its feet. Victor was up even with the harsh impact of his back against a building that would have normally killed a man. A low snarl tore from his lips as he lunged at the creature only to be swatted aside with a massive paw, sending him flying into Fred who never budged normally but having a certain feral colliding him while he was running made the gentle giant of a man stumble.

Logan soon joined his brother when he tried to take a swipe at the creature from the side, sending the three sprawling to the ground. Wade took this as a chance to dart in, his swords lashing out as he sprinted under the creature, slashing its ankles and wrists. The creature gaze a pained roar and fell onto its stomach, the swordsman barely just diving out of the way and avoiding being crushed, a smug grin on his face. The grin was short lived as the man gave a grunt of surprised pain as the creature's tail whipped around and smacked into him midriff, sending the poor mutant flying into the three others who just managed to disentangle and get up.

"This is getting us nowhere!" Logan snarled, shoving Wade off of him as he quickly got up. "And the fact the thing can heal isn't helping either," Victor growled as he got up as well, jerking a thumb towards the target. Sure enough, the creature was getting up shakily, its bleeding ankles and wrists healing slowly, just like Logan's and Victor's own healing abilities but considerably longer from what could be seen. "Well there has to be a way to bring it down," Fred grumbled as he managed to haul himself off the ground as well. It was clear capturing the thing was not going to be an option so that left them only with the second one. The two feral brothers paused, looking to each other than the creature.

".....Go for the head,"

Victor grinned viciously as he immediately dropped onto all fours again and charged towards the creature, lunging for its neck. Hot blood, dark red and steaming sprayed from the creatures throat as he managed to reach his mark, his claws slicing through its throat. The creature gave a gurgling howl of pain, scrambling back as more blood sprayed from the gash in its throat. Logan followed his brother closely, only deepening the gash, a grimace on his face as blood splattered across his front from it. Like a well planned out attack then really just an mere coincidence, Fred came charging in, knocking the creature's front legs out from under it with a well placed tackle. The creature collapsed, the signs of healing already starting to show but that was soon solved by Wade.

Like lightning, he darted in and struck with his swords. The swords slashed through, managing to miracuously cut cleanly through a gap between spinal disks of the neck as they sliced into the creature's flesh. The creature convulsed as its now severed head went sailing through the air, its expression a frozen mid roar. With a heavy thud, it landed a few meters away, the body convulsing and spasming for a moment then going still, blood spewing from the neck wound then dying down to a mere trickle. Silence hung in the air, the sound of distant sirens in the background.

"Well that was short," Victor commented boredly as the four on the ground gathered together to look at the severed head. "Be glad it was or we would be here all day," Logan said with a snort, shaking his head. "I wouldn't have complained," the larger feral replied with a grin, earning a roll of the eyes from the smaller. .:You guys sure made a mess:. Zero commented over their comms. blankly. "Sure did....and phew! This thing is ugly," Wade chipped, idly prodding the severed head with a foot, jumping slightly when its lower jaw dropped slightly.

"Uh....guys....we have a problem,"

The other three looked at Fred questioningly at this only to follow his gaze. They all froze in shock as the creature's body startled convulsing and spasming again. Like a person heavily drunk, the body stood up, swaying and stumbling. It was like watching a horror movie, a horribly disturbing horror movie as slowly nerves began slithering out from the neck hole, twisting and slithering together into a large knot of nerves that folded and melded together, forming a new brain. The brain pulsed rapidly as white liquid like bone crept out along, slowly morphing and hardening into a new skull, the lower jaw fluttering its mandible like scructures.

More nerves like creeping vines slithered along the gleaming surface of bone and skull, the first signs of stringy muscle fibers following along and eyeballs expanded and filled empty eye sockets. Soon enough, the head had muscle, looking like the creature had been skinned from the neck up, the look only lasting for a short moment as black skin encroached and enveloped the head. Fur, black and white, sprouted across and the next thing the team knew, the creature was standing there with a new head, as if the first one had never been cut off.

"Well fuck..."

"That's impossible," Logan muttered in grim shock, Victor's own expression of blank shock. "Oh shit....what now?" Wade asked, backing away slightly as the creature took a trembling step towards them, its body and muscles quivering. "Certainly not running," Victor growled, snapping out of his shocked daze. Fred and Wade didn't seem too sure as the creature slowly took a few more steps closer, a low sound rumbling through its chest. However, things took another drastic change, surprising the team yet again.

The creature suddenly started heaving, a black substance spewing from its mouth and onto the ground. They watched in shocked silence as it vomitted some more then collapsed onto its side, crushing an unfortunate car under its weight. It was struggling to breathe, its sides heaving in effort before it suddenly went still. Then, like a puppet master cutting the strings, it went limp, all four eyes fluttering shut as its breathing became slow and shallow.

For a moment, all they could do was stare in silence, not sure what to say. "What the fuck just happened?" Wade finally asked, breaking the quiet. "Dunno....maybe healing like that took a lot out of it," Logan said, cautiously approaching the downed creature, the others following. The creature did not move, seeming to be unconscious now. Victor, being more bold, walked right up to it and looked it over. "Well.... it seems killing it failed....so now we get to capture it," the large feral commented, crossing his arms over his chest. "Seems so," Logan replied quietly, standing by his brother.

However, the four jerked back as the creature suddenly spasmed and they shifted into defensive stances, ready to right. The creature merely went still again and the most interesting thing began happening. The creature was beginning to shrink rapidly. The fur slowly seemed to disappear within the body, skin paling as the bones seemed to break, rearrange, shrink, and fall into new positions. The whole process looked very painful, if the unconscious soft grunts and whines were anything to go by. Soon enough, something completely new and much smaller was laying on the car in the creature's place. For a long time, all the four could do was stare in surprise.

".....Holy shit,"
