AWAKENING[REVAMPED EDITION]

CHAPTER II

TRENT COUNTY MILITARY BASE. SAME NIGHT.

Hundreds of bloodied soldiers laid on the ground, some motionless, some still trying to grasp onto life that was fading away quickly. The battle had been quick, with little causalities to the small lycan group that stood in the shadows of the nearby forest, keeping their distance but watching cautiously. They had received word backup might come.

"In and out", Nico announced to the large group before they had started the attack. "But don't stop till they're all dead." As soon as the words left his mouth the group began their descent through the heavily-wooded forest and into the night. Fast and agile, most made it to the outer gate in seconds while others lagged behind waiting for the fighting to start before getting involved.

Soon gunshots began to rang out into the night and Nico smiled as he leaned against a tree facing the makeshift battlefield which would soon be filled with bodies. He watched closely as the lycans began to climb the tall outer gates and pounce on unaware targets followed by the familiar screams those being ripped to pieces.

One by one the soldiers on the outside began to fall victim to the opposing lycan force. Their machine guns and grenades having little effect on the quick and silent movements of each werewolf.

"You're late", Nico muttered as he heard a figure approaching from his left. "You've already missed half of the fight."

"It's just getting started", the figure growled quietly and stood next to Nico, arms behind it's back and attention toward the battle. It's black eyes shifting from lycan to human to lycan again. "Tonight we let the world know we are still here. Tonight we make a mark."

"Agreed", Nico stated and began to get off the tree he was leaning on, a look of suspicion on his face. "Do you here that?", he asked and tilted his head toward the darkened sky. A soft whirl of blades could be heard which began to get louder and louder as the object got closer.

"Yes. Call them back", the figure responded and turned away walking back into the deep dark of the forest. With that Nico opened his mouth and released a roar that could be heard miles away, each lycan turning up it's head and dropping the meat in its mouth as it picked the sound up.

Knowing the call to regroup, every lycan that was still alive after the battle quickly entered back into the forest leaving the base in a tattered mess with bodies littered all around. All the bodies left on the ground amused Nico and he loved to smell the fresh blood of a newly killed corpse.

And here they were now, all the remaining lycans and Nico waiting patiently in the forest as reinforcements approached the base.

Nico could feel his body tingle with excitement as he thought of tearing each and every new soldier apart, feeling each limb rip from their body, and hearing every scream that would escape their throats.

Within minutes the first group appeared, a couple jeeps appearing on one side on the base and a few dozen trucks on the other emptying hundreds more soldiers onto the ground only to discover the remains of those who had been the victims of a ruthless attack. Many threw up while others simply passed out.

Analyzing the current situation, Nico thought that he could take out one side while everyone else tried to take out the other. "Round two boys", Nico whispered and slowly walked out the woods extending his curved claws. Because of the darkness the soldiers couldn't see him but they would soon pick up him up with their thermal scanners.

"Be careful. They have silver this time", he said after smelling the air and catching the scent. Looking back, he saw he lycan nod in agreement and prepare themselves for yet another battle.

"This one will not go as smoothly", the figure said suddenly appearing to the right of Nico. Giving a slight smirk, Nico looked up toward the figure and caught the glance of two red eyes staring back at him in the darkness. "That is why only the two of us with take part in this fight. We don't need anymore deaths."

With that, the figure sifted weightlessly through the darkness and waited on the other side for Nico to get into position. The plan was the force the two groups together into one and take them out from both sides.

His tongue dripping with saliva and his body caked with sweat from the excitement, Nico dashed to the other side quietly and began to growl giving the appearance that there were more lycans that just him.

Snapping his neck at the sound one soldier began backing up slowly, his gun raised at an odd angle and his steps shaky. Once nothing his movements each and every other soldier began to do the same slowly backing up until the two groups were in sight distance of each other.

A grenade on the other side gave signal that the attack had already began with the soldiers on the other side. But now, it was his turn.

Grinning in the darkness, every move was swift and savage but his movement as soft as feather. A soldier didn't even give the command to shoot until four of his men had men slaughtered with their throats ripped out. But once given the command each soldier sprayed a wall of bullets that rained in Nico's general direction.

Able to dodge most but getting caught by some, Nico stepped back and took on the runner starting stance. He needed to be able to get in and out quickly without error.

"Go", he whispered to himself and charged straight into the middle cutting and scratching every person and thing he saw. His claws ripped through vests, flesh, and guns cutting them all to pieces that scattered across the ground. But the finale came when he darted back out of the group with three pins in his hands.

Only one soldier was quick enough to react and dove quickly onto the ground while the others were not so lucky. Bits of flesh and limbs flew toward Nico where he gladly picked them up and ate them, enjoying the crunching the bone provided.

Covered in blood and gun wounds he held out his hands watching as the bullet holes in them closed themselves up instantly. He was satisfied with the way things had unfolded and he hadn't even needed to turn.

Two bullets.

Each one piercing a different part of his skin causing him to turn around and see the one man that had avoided the explosion. Firing off three more shots Nico stumbled to the ground and began to crawl toward the man still firing what was left of his round. Three bullets hit his arms and the last one hit him square in the head where he finally stopped crawling toward the man on the ground.

For a few seconds everything was quiet until the man's scream interrupted it. Holding a blood-dripping spinal cord in one hand and the man's lifeless skin in the other the figure stood over Nico's lifeless body and grunted.

"Wake your ass up."

Slowly Nico opened his eyes and stood up on his feet. "That hurt like hell, that silver really does do something to you", he admitted and picked a bullet out of one of his arms letting it drop into the fresh pool of blood forming around the man's body.

"Let's go."

Nodding in agreement Nico and the figure walked back toward the forest each holding a fragment of the man that had tried to save himself.

It was time to make a mark on the world. It was time to show who was really in charge.
