The Venom

Recidivist

        Hasuto and Zax fought inside of the collapsing building, trading attacks between each other. Hasuto noticed a weak spot in the building, and worked around it. Hasuto managed to dodge one of Zax's attacks, taking the opportunity to kick Zax under the weak spot. Hasuto slashed Zax's leg, and knocked him onto his back. Hasuto swiftly slashed the ceiling, causing it to break, and crash down on top of Zax. Hasuto stepped onto the debris, and stabbed through to where he thought Zax's neck was. Hasuto's sword stabbed through the debris, before his sword hit something metal. Hasuto then left the building with hurried movements. Hasuto looked towards the main building, seeing Mary and Madison. "I've got to get to them." Hasuto said. Hasuto climbed back into the property, and began to climb up to their ledge. 

     Mary and Madison fought next to each other, switching sides to deal with the two expert swordsmen. Jake and Zin dodged many of Mary and Madison's attacks, but Zin was hit with a swift kick to the side. Mary rushed at Zin, but was kicked in the leg by Jake. Mary stumbled, and Zin was already back on his feet, rushing towards her. Mary brought up her bow to block the impact, when Hasuto showed, deflecting Zin's sword to the side. Hasuto punched Zin in the side of the face, before grabbing onto him. Hasuto twisted his body, throwing Zin off of the ledge. Mary and Hasuto saw Jake had knocked Madison to the ground, and went to help. Before Hasuto could run, a hand grabbed his foot, and dragged him over the ledge. Hasuto fell, grabbing onto the side of the roof. "You're not done with me yet." Zin said. 

    As Hasuto struggled with Zin, Mary stabbed her bow spike into Jake's back. Jake yelled out a yell, and turned around to swing his sword. Mary dodged under the sword strike, and punched him in the face. Jake stumbled back, and Mary rushed forwards, grabbing Jake by the head, and pulled him into a heavy knee strike. Jake turned, falling onto his stomach. Mary grabbed her bow, and began moving the spike around, as Jake yelled in pain. Jarek heard the yelling, and swiftly clawed Tiger in the side of the face. Tiger went to pursue, but the lynx quickly climbed up the side of the building. Tiger morphed back to a human to continue the chase.

    Jarek crested the roof, knocking Mary onto her back. The lynx morphed back to a human. Jarek activated his high frequency blade. Madison went to stop Jarek, but Jarek's blade effortlessly cut through Madison's blade, before slashing her from the top left side of her forehead to across her right eye. Madison fell back from the immense pain, as she covered her eye with her hand. Tiger saw the impact happen, and he felt his anger grow. "No! You will not harm her!" Tiger yelled, as his aura returned. "What's this?" Jarek asked, as Tiger rushed at Jarek. Tiger jumped up, kicking Jarek in the face, knocking him back. Tiger let out a yell, transitioning to his Primal State. Tiger wore his primal outfit, and wielded his twin tomahawks. 

     Jarek smirked, morphing into a lynx. Tiger morphed into the white tiger, and slammed his paw into the lynx's face. The lynx flew back, and Tiger began to maul the lynx mercilessly. The lynx broke free, morphing back to his human form. Tiger rushed at Jarek, turning into his human form, and drop-kicked him off of the rooftop. "No!" Jarek yelled, as he fell from the height. Tiger raised his tomahawk as a taunt, as Jarek slammed into the ground. Tiger looked to the side, noticing Hasuto was still struggling with Zin. In a sudden motion, Hasuto kicked Zin in the face, knocking him off of the side of the building. Zin fell onto a gate, impaling himself on the spike. Hasuto pulled himself onto the rooftop, where Mary went to check on him. 

     Tiger turned to Madison, as she laid on the ground, with blood dripping from her head. Tiger rushed over, and knelt beside her. Tiger moved her hand, and saw a deep cut in her face, and her iris had been discolored. Tiger used his Evolved powers to create a portal. Tiger rushed through the portal, and reappeared with a talisman. Tiger pressed the  talisman onto her stomach, and the talisman's healing properties began to rapidly heal Madison. The cuts closed, turning into scars, and her eye heal, but did not get it's color back. Madison sat up, and looked at Tiger. They looked at each other, and Madison rested her hands on Tiger's hands. Tiger helped Madison to her feet. Hasuto and Mary approached them, noticing Tiger and Madison were still holding hands. "Seems you two have gotten close." Mary remarked.

       A sudden explosion in the distance caught their attention. Tiger looked to see smoke rising from the northern city entrance. Tiger felt a sudden rush of Evolved power, and Tiger began another transformation. Tiger's facepaint was designed to look like the Lobo tribe's experienced warrior's facepaint. Tiger's twin tomahawks had spikes on the blunt side, and a spike on the bottom of the handle. The tiger hood and pelt was now of a white tiger, and had a darker coloration to it. Tiger's eyes were now tiger eyes. Without warning, Tiger hopped down from the side of the building, and began making his way to the smoke. As Tiger ran, he raised his tomahawks into the air. They were both struck with lightning infused with hellfire, and Tiger held them ahead, allowing him to fly forwards. 

     The group watched as Tiger got further and further away. "After him." Madison said, as they began to climb down from the rooftop. Tiger arrived at the entrance to see Skulls warriors and Venom assassins fighting an army of Insurrectionists. The guardsmen and vanguards were also contributing their efforts. "Tiger, over here." Reaper called out. Reaper and Cobra were fighting beside each other. "Seems you've found out about your origins." Cobra said. Reaper and Cobra began to transform into their Evolved forms. Reaper's head turned to a flaming skull, and a dark hood covered his head. Reaper's eyes ignited, and Reaper's sword now had a serrated edge. Cobra's transformation turned his armor to a scaly material. Two swords appeared on Cobra's back, with hooks on the pommel giving the appearance of fangs. Cobra's eyes were that of a snake's. 

      Tiger, Cobra, and Reaper moved through the battle, killing any Insurrectionists that stood in their way. Reaper and Cobra ripped through the bodies with their high frequency blades. Reaper shot hellfire from his mouth, and Cobra swiftly evaded incoming attacks with inhumanly fast movements. Tiger morphed into the white tiger, mauling several Insurrectionists in his way. Tiger looked to see a barrage of incoming cannonballs. "Take cover!" Tiger yelled. The cannonballs ravaged the wall, and the surrounding area. Tiger was knocked back, and debris fell all around him. Two people quickly dragged Tiger to safety. Tiger looked to see Jaguar and Max were moving him. Tiger noticed he was now back in his normal state. "Damn." Tiger muttered, before unsheathing his swords. "Got to be more careful." Tiger thought to himself.
