Chapter 20

" Danger, if met head on, can be nearly halved. "

(February 9, 2018: Underground Area, New York City, 3:30 AM)

In the dark and wet tunnel, there were splatter of crimson human blood and disfigured body parts and flesh floating on the water ways and sewage grounds. A flock of mice roamed and chattered around the area. An extreme silence and gloom had visited in the wee hours of the morning without any prescene of Homo Sapiens. A swarm of flies were flying in circles and buzzing which they got attracted from the human flesh. Some footsteps were tapping on the ground which revealed to be a group of six people.

A curly brunette woman in a dark tactical suit walked along with her team and a ginger haired Faunus man with antlers on his head. The blonde man in a business suit illuminated his left hand. Just beside him, an Asian man with raven locks and streaks of rose highlights held his pair of emerald pistols with a blade. A lady with wavy tangerine locks looked apprehensive and moved her head to and fro. The woman with long scarlet hair remained vigilant and noticed such bloody and chaotic environment.

" Do you see and hear anything guys? " the brunette woman asked.

" Just a trail of blood, Daisy, " the dark haired one answered and continued holding his weapon. " 682 must be responsible for this brutal mess. "

" Definitely disgusting..." Agent Nora Valkyrie frowned and picked her nose, avoiding the putrid of rotting human flesh.

" You don't need to tell twice, Nora, " Ren sighed and kept walking.

Xenocide began sniffing like a dog which he needed to scan and sense the being's whereabouts. Jaune and Pyrrha strangely looked at him and shared glances.

" What's the matter with you SHIELD Agents? " he curiously asked and sniffed. " Have you encountered an enhanced Faunus like me? "

" We do, " the scarlet haired Inhuman answered and nervously smiled. " It's just we've never met an overpowered one like you. "

" Really? " Xenocide chuckled and shrugged. " Your country has a population of Faunus, Kree, Inhumans, Mutants, and ordinary Humans who can live freely than here in America. "

" Yeah, you said it, " Jaune heavily sighed in reply, caught his attention to the sudden movement on water, and turned to his group, nervously speaking. " Guys...did you...see..."

" See, what? " Nora asked.

" That thing, over there! "

" Where? " Ren queried and cocked his eyebrows.

" Something's causing waves under that sewage water! "

" Jaune, can you show it to us? " Pyrrha asked.

The blond Inhuman pointed his bright turquoise light hand like a flashlight. Daisy and her team noticed the constant ripples and bubbles aside from the bloodspill. Xenocide continued sniffing and frowned to his disgust which he felt more uncomfortable than what he had experienced few days ago.

" It wasn't me guys, " Daisy reminded. " I never used my powers at the moment. "

" No, Agent Johnson, " the enhanced Faunus man nodded in negation. " It's not from you and underneath that murky water. "

" Then, who? "

As the group stared at the direction of the sewer water, an enormous figure had emerged from the surface, revealing its hair and a bony spike from his head. Its multiple dark hazel eyes intently spotted them and showed its sharp teeth. The SHIELD Agents were apprehensive to look at the abomination infront of them. Xenocide recognised it was indeed the male indestructible lizard who faced him a few days ago in Los Angeles, California. His eyebrows were crossed as he was not pleased to see that creature for the second time. SCP-682 darkly chuckled and spoke gibberish at them.
