Kangaroos were an animal she didn't get to see much of. When she had been a young girl, her father had once taken her to a zoo—an actual one, not the gang—in Lillian. There she had seen a single kangaroo. They were always one of the strangest animals, in her opinion.
Red Ape's mutated kangaroo was even weirder than most and way more scary. The thing actually seemed to have superpowers of its own. She let out a scream as it slammed a fist directly into Jack's face as hard as it could, using its strong legs to increase the force.
The ground beneath Jack began to crack, and in an instant it shattered, caving in on itself. Both Jack and the Super kangaroo dropped down into the basement of the clinic as the creature began to beat on the red-haired man with everything it had. Each strike came out hard and fast, sending echoing booms crashing through the basement.
She ran over, still clutching the cat the man had tossed her, and stared down with wide eyes as she watched him get the beating of a lifetime. "Mr. Larison!" She cried out. "Do you need help!"
The kangaroo spun around and jumped into the air, nailing Jack with a cool ass spin kick that flung the man across the basement and into the wall. Jack rammed into it, cracking part of it and leaving a small dent in it. Slowly though, the man pulled his way out of it and began to flex his arm, grabbing onto his shoulder. He spat out a tooth and wiped the blood away from his busted lip.
"I've been hit far worse." The man said simply. In a flash, he vanished and appeared in front of the kangaroo. It tried to nail him with a right hook, but he casually dodged it and jabbed out with his own fist, ramming it into the ribs of the animal and causing it to gasp. "You wanna box? Then let's box!" The man announced entering a boxing stance.
Back up top, she watched the strange sight, taking it all in. "He's so cool."
Red Ape stood at the stairs still and peered down the hole much like she was doing. "So, while Toni is busy slaughtering that foolish Super, what do you two plan to do?" The man's voice caused her nerves to flare with rage, and she glared back up at him, holding the cat protectively to her chest.
While Jack was busy having one of the greatest boxing matches in history, Myth allowed his transformation to take hold once more. The hero grew in size, his horns emerging as the bull formed around him. "You don't expect me to just sit here, do you?" Myth asked, his voice a lot deeper and gruffer now. "I'm going to take you down. Don't bother sending any of your animals after me. I'm a monster from legends long forgotten. I hold power that no mere animal, not even a mutated one, could ever hope to match up to."
Red Ape gave a slight grin. "I won't be using any of my animals to beat you. Toni's my best one so far, and he's a bit tied up. I'll take you on myself-"
That was all Myth needed. The hero was on the villain in a single second, moving fast enough to break more of the floor. Myth jumped over the hole Jack and the kangaroo created and slammed down in front of the shocked Red Ape. He pulled his fist back and rammed out a powerful punch that was able to destroy stone with ease, and since Red Ape was a normal human, it should have been more than enough to finish him off. It never reached, though. A blue bubble of energy appeared around Red Ape, stopping the fist in its tracks. Myth frowned and threw out another punch against the bubble, shaking it but not breaking it. With a growl, he began to hit it over and over again.
The villain smirked and stood there with his arms outstretched. "If you paid attention to the news, you might have heard about Zoo doing a raid on Avalon Industries recently. I got this handy helmet and these helping hands from there. It really is quite amazing that man is able to make things that are hundreds of years advanced for us." Several of the hands began to flow through the air, all balling up into fists.
