Chapter 47 - Fire Marker: Bloodshed

(General POV)

Location the New Earth: The Island of Hawaii; Mauna Loa

Green Arrow, groaned and hissed in pain, as fire bats, hit him in various spots of his body, burning onto Oliver's costume and flesh.

Before he could fight back against Sabrewulf, the super enhanced werewolf was merciless, and brutal.

Stabbing his right massive, metallic claw into the Emerald Archer's body, using his scientific knowledge, to avoid piercing anything fatal, cause he wanted to enjoy this hunt now.

Those broze like claw, soaked in crimson blood, bursting out the back of Oliver's body, as he'd screamed and spat up blood, pulling Green Arrow close to his snout.

Snarling and breathing hot breathe onto Oliver's face, he tried desperately to get free from the claws of Sabrewulf, but once again, before he could react or reach for his arrows.

Sabrewulf, made a low snarl, that made his bats swooped down and snatch the quiver from the back of Green Arrow, taking away his main weapon's ammunition, then he'd heard Sabrewulf speak, "I'd heard from my Lord, that you survive alone, lost, and barren in a place like this." Sabrewulf, then gestured to the burning, tropical jungle around them.

Then he laughed, as he'd felt Green Arrow, swing a punch to his face, to weak to cause any real damage to the third Infernal Lord, but it still irritated the werewolf, so in response he pulled his claw, or better said janked it out, as he'd threw Green Arrow onto a fallen log.

Hitting against said log hard, stabbing him again with his claws, piercing into the Emerald Archer's bad shoulder.

More pain and blood stained the ground, and leaves around them, Sabrewulf started to laugh in a mocking fashion, as he said to Oliver, "A survivor? A hunter? Let's see if you, are." lifting the wounded Green Arrow with ease, Sabrewulf half spun, to the right and tossed Oliver far away.

When Green Arrow hit the very warm, mud of the ground, a sick crack echoed in the dark, reddish tinted jungle in flames, hissing and fighting back the desire to scream, he'd reached up to his right ear, to use his comm.

Only for when he'd contacted Barry the Flash, all that he'd heard was static, his comms, must have busted during the thrashing that, Sabrewulf gave him, a bit ago, then he'd heard a loud howl.

Then the yelling of Sabrewulf, "Run archer!! Give me, a hunt worth the chase!!! Let me, find thrill in anxiously, waiting to sink my claws into your flesh!! Give me, eagerness to kill you!! Run!!! Run!!!" knowing he was in great danger.

Using his will power, and experiences of other extreme situations like this, getting up, and reaching down at his belt, were a few micro-explosives, and small arrows, are hidden for emergencies like this.

Having experience with werewolves, the first thing he'd did was pull out a few strong smoke bombs, and threw them all around him, the reason, hide his scent and give him, an a opportunity to gain distance from Sabrewulf, who was rapidly closing in.

Only for the scent of his prey to be distorted, making the third Infernal Lord, smile, as Green Arrow might prove to be a worthy hunt, rushing towards the smoke cloud that Green Arrow made.

Meanwhile in a devastated city, Cyclops was fighting for his life, leaping on top of a red, heavily damaged, and slightly burned car.

Reaching up to his yellow visor, with a flick, he'd activated his visor, allowing his optic blast fire.

Slicing through a couple of maulers, leaving the skinless, human-skull headed dogs, split in two, incinerate so no blood, fell from the bodies of the dead malefactors.

Turning his head, Cyclops, he blasted another red neon beam, hitting a white truck tipped on its side, as the maulers around and leaping over the said vehicle, and once the optic blast, struck its target, it exploded catching a pack of maulers in the explosion.

Scott, he continued to slowly back away, fighting the packs of malefactor hounds, from a distance.

He knew alone, he'll not survive against such numbers, so using his power, he was taking out the monsters.

But he was oblivious of the Infernal Lord, right behind him, Kothoga, he stalked and quietly flanked his target.

Hiding in the shadows of a three-story, roof parking lot, with some burning cars, and spread flames on various parts of the lot, Kothoga, entered this building from a hole off the side.

Following the scent of his prey, making low snarls and wheezes, as he quietly, and stealthily got closer, and closer to the laser vision mutant, who was still focused on the maulers, that kept on charging and swarming Cyclops.

Cyclops, dodges a mauler barely, as the knife blade, attached to the side of its human-skull head, cutting into the side of his chest, slicing through his black X-man uniform.

Blood trickling down his body, grunting in pain, he kicked that mauler away, before firing another optic blast, blowing the mauler's head off, killing his attacker, but he couldn't stop.

The maulers, growl and bark at him, holding his right hand over the side of the visor, ready to attack any of these monstrous hound, as they were herding him, straight to Kothoga, who was just above Cyclops.

As the reptilian chimera, looked down at his prey, his insectoid mandibles, twitching slightly, with drowl dropping down at the streets below.

Cyclops was about to fire another optic blast, when he'd felt something thick and wet hit his head, he was disgusted, and immediately realized that something was above him.

Looking up, he saw a huge, green reptilian monster with a mane, and insectoid pincers, Kothoga, leaped down, straight at his prey.

Because of the speed and gravity of the weight behind the massive eighth Infernal Lord, Cyclops reflexes, screamed at him to move out the way, and he'd rolled off the side.

Kothoga, smashed onto the paved road, cracking and breaking under the force of the weight of Kothoga, turning his head, he roars at Cyclops, and before the mutant can properly fire a optic blast, at the Brazilian Devil God.

Kothoga, swung his tail, hitting Cyclops hard across the stomach, blasting him inside the three-story parking lot, whole still airborne, his hand pressed on the visor, firing a long stream of the red neon beam, at the inner structure of the lot.

Blasting everything apart, and weakening the already unstable structure he was blasted into, he'd hit the cement floor of the lot hard.

As he'd stopped hitting a burned pick-up truck, as the lot was collapsing all around him, struggling to stand, the debri and rubble, dangerous close to crush him, dead.

Kothoga, wheezing and growling, as he watched the parking lot, crashing all around his prey, he started moving around the collapsing building, with the packs of maulers, following closely behind him.

Cyclops, used his optic blasts, and adrenaline to desperately trying to escape being crushed to dead, or buried alive.

His pain, agonizing but the adrenaline, numbing it...barely, using one more stream of optic beam, destroying and exploding some cars, and curved walls of the lot.

Rushing through the fire, dust, and smoke, barely managing to escape outside the lot, only to be tackled and bite on his side by Kothoga, who calmly chased after his prey, his bite, crushing onto Cyclops ribs.

Then as his fangs, and pincers pierced, hard onto the side of his prey, dragging the legs of Cyclops, as he screamed in pain, he was about to reach up to visor again, and fire another optic blast, point-blank at the creature, that was literally killing him.

But before he could do that, Kothoga, he smashed onto a burned car, on the sidewalk of a some burning restaurant.

His back, smashing through the stationed vehicle, and Kothoga released Cyclops, and using his massive, razor sharp claws to swipe and slice onto the body, and flesh of the mutant.

Blood pouring heavily down the badly damaged body of the X-man, then something worse happened to Cyclops, as Kothoga bite down on the right arm of the X-man, just above the elbow, bitting hard and tearing off the arm of Cyclops.

Cyclops left out a agonizing, loud scream in pure agony, blood gushed out the now stump that was his right arm, Kothoga smashed his front claws, onto the chest of Cyclops, making the mutant, spew out blood from his mouth.

His chest was shattered under the force and weight of Kothoga, he couldn't reach his visor, not only cause his body was broken and pinned under Kothoga, but also without his dominate arm, his left arm, can't activate the visor or remove it to unleash a full, unrestrained, optic beam at Kothoga.

But he was completely at the mercy of this monster, Kothoga, he brought his mouth, close to Cyclops head, his long serpentine tongue, licking the face and head of his prey.

Retracting his tongue, and with a roar, Kothoga bite down at the neck of Cyclops, his scream loud, but quickly silenced, as Kothoga tore off his head, another hero...another mutant, killed by the Forsaken.

Kothoga's jaws, easily breaking and biting through the skull and straight into the brain of the head of Scott Summer, using his tongue to pull out the brain and eat it.

Thou Kothoga didn't need those hormones, anymore for sustenance, he can still feast on it, and enjoy the spoils of a good hunt.

Devouring the brain, and tossing aside the empty, defiled head of the mutant, Kothoga let out a roar, almost like a victory cry, that the maulers from all corners of this burning, ruined city, joined the Infernal Lord's victorious roar, in Howling.

Once done, Kothoga, wheezed and growled, before letting out a short roar, and stomping away, with the maulers chasing him, as their hunt for humans, still alive in this burning island wasn't finished.

Hulk, on another part of Hawaii finally managed to take down one of the annoying giant bug monsters, that been thrashing him around.

He did it by grabbing the Ultralisk, that tried to impale him with one of the kaiser blade, and tossing over his head, and straight into a big pool of lava, the giant zerg, roared out in pain, as it burned and melted away to death.

Roaring at the other Ultralisks, then more ultralisks emerged from the ground, along with more mutalisks and zerglings, instead of fear, Hulk, he'd chuckled, and said to himself, "This going to be fun." but before the zerg, swarm at the Big Green Monster.

That when, before Hulk charged forward, he'd heard from his comms, it was Sam, as he screamed in Hulk's ear, "Hulk I need a hand here!! Jinx is here, and I can't keep up with this chick!!!" explosions and more chaos happened, in Hulk's ear.

Growling, Hulk said to the bug monsters, "You got lucky. I don't have time to smash, ya...yet." slightly bending his massive green legs, and blasting into the air in a superjump.

As Hulk left, all the zergs roaring at the huge, disappearing green figure, banishing into the smoke clouds on the sky, the zerglings rushed into the jungle, with the ultralisks, stampeding through the plants and buildings in their path.

While the mutalisks, just fly across all the burning ruins on the ground, as these flying zerg were easily chasing after the Hulk.

The Flash, has managed to rescue more people trapt in the blazing hell that is this jungles of Hawaii, streaking across the area in a yellow streak of electricity, with Hal, Green Lantern he'd managed to rescue those trapt in other parts of the jungles.

Those horrible skinless, human-skull hounds, were easily dealt with by Hal's will power constructs of his ring, he was happy that they'd managed to save more trapt natives, now Flash, he ran across the island, heading towards Mauna Loa base.

But the closer he'd got to the volcano, more and more monsters started to emerge, and try attacking the Scarlet Speedster, from demodogs, maulers, zerglings, and even a couple of ultralisks, that were too slow to crush him.

Barry smirked, no creature in the Forsaken could keep up, with him then as he leap over a chasm of flowing lava, when his enhanced perception, caught a barrage of deep greenish...boiling fireballs.

Spinning while still in the air, avoiding the dark green fireballs, landing on the blackened, and desolated ground, his reddish boots, scrapping against the soil and breaking himself.

Looking at where those dark green fireballs have landed, not only did they explode in green flame, and...melt...not like lava to something, but acid touching, almost anything.

As he was very surprised, and shocked by the effects of the "fire", he was very glad, that all those years, fighting crime and being a superhero, have helped him avoid that danger, taking a quick second to catch his breathe.

He'd heard cackling, that was approaching him from behind, so turning to the source, he saw another of those giant spiked carapace monsters with pairs of massive bladed pincers, stomping toward him, but what really caught Flash's attention was the one riding on the mini kaiju.

A pale, slightly green tinted skinned woman with blackish-green hair, in a two toned green suit, that switched between the tones in various parts of her uniform.

Shego the Emerald Empress of the Forsaken, has finally appeared in the battle, her hands glowing in dark green, ego-flames, as she'd spoke in a mocking tone, "Nice move speedster. But you're not getting another day in this damned world. Let's get this over with." the Ultralisk roared, obeying her command, charging at the Flash.

Who blast to the side, only for a wave of green-ego flame, was surging forwards at him, he slide and ran the other direction, as he'd heard Shego again, "Little advice speedster. To fight against someone faster, attack where there going." firing a big dark green fireball, a bit to the right, and Flash actually stepped in the blastzone.

Being burned two way, like both fire and acid have hit his legs and calfs, he'd grunted in pain, vibrating his legs to hyper active, the speed force, and trigger his speed healing, as he'd heard cackling again, and Shego finished what she was saying before, "But where their going to be.", as her hands were ignited again, in green ego-flames.

Her form menacing on top of the ultralisk, that was charging straight at the speedster, as this fight between this various heroes, against the monsters of the Forsaken, is still going to get worse.
