Vixen and Vlad were face to face with each other. For Vlad, he had been hit by an acidic green liquid from Vixen's hands. It looked like they could do a lot more than just inject venom and stretch.
However, gritting his teeth, the liquid burning through his body just exploded memories in his head, memories of how much pain his father must have been in. Standing up, the energy was channelling through his body.
His eyes turned a shade darker, and with it, his back wings started to repair themselves. Although when finished, they didn’t look the same as before. They looked mangled with parts of the wings missing as well.
“What interesting results, it looks like this has been quite a nice little experiment for NIRV.” Vixen said to himself, as he stretched out both of his hands.
Vlad tried to move as he flapped his wings, he had a short burst of speed in one direction but it was only momentary and the snake hands were going after him, like they were some type of homing device.
Turning his head, the deadly fangs could be seen as the snake’s mouth opened wide.
“Get out of here!” Vlad shouted as he slapped the neck part of the snake head, which was Vixen’s wrist.
The hit was fairly hard causing it to bounce off the floor, and before Vixen could retract it, Vlad stepped on it with his feet. They started to transform while squeezing the snake head, turning almost claw-like.
His toes had curled and dug into the skin of the snake keeping it in place.
Vlad had his eyes locked on Vixen and as he moved forward the snake arm’s head was being lifted up, still stuck to his foot. So focused though, he was unable to see the other snake hand that hit him right in the side attaching to his neck.
“Got ya!” Vixen said. “Did you really think an amatuer Altered who has a broken product would really be able to best me?”
The venom was going through the fangs and was now being injected directly into Vlad’s neck. It was one of the most fatal parts. Although his venom hadn't worked on his last opponent for some reason.
This time he was sure it was a done deal, usually that was the case with his venom form.
Both of Vlad’s arm’s were shaking as he moved them toward the snake head on his neck. He then grabbed it as close up to the head as he could and squeezed as hard as possible with his hands.
With his other hand free, it was now underneath the snake. His hand started to transform, changing from a large insect like shape, to a small stinger. It wasn't large in size, perhaps a little bigger than a finger, but it was incredibly sharp.
Thrusting it upward, the stinger pierced the underside of the snake, drawing out blood. The tip couldn't be seen coming through the other end, because the snake was too thick, but Vlad quickly pulled out the stinger and started to thrust it again,
It was creating small holes in the snake’s underbelly each time, and these small holes were adding up as they were making a bigger cut on the snake. They were joining up, more blood was spilling and eventually the entire bottom half had been shredded by the single stinger.
Thrusting it again and again, now the stinger was going through the top layer of skin, and as it weakened, Vlad’s hand transformed back, and grabbed onto one half of the snake’s body and pulled it away,
The skin had been weakened with so many holes inside it and ripped open spilling blood all over the place as well as some green liquid had appeared from its belly.
The snake head was still stuck on Vlad’s neck, but with both of his hands he now grabbed the top and bottom half, ripping it open and throwing the head on the ground. Blood and part of the green liquid drizzled from his wound, but his blood was black in colour.
“You should be dead, let alone be able to stand, so how on earth were you able to do that!” Vixen shouted.
Vlad was more infected by the Altered solution than anyone could have realised, and not everyone in the world knew exactly how it worked yet. At first the venom was taking effect, but it was almost as if there was already something more deadly inside Vlad’s body, that had fought back the venom, getting rid of it bit by bit, until it no longer affected him at all.
Jumping up, Vlad let go of the other snake head, and his wings fluttered fast sending him right toward Vixen. His wings only needed to work for a short time span as he built up speed and gave a devastating punch right on Vixen’s face sending him to the ground.
Before he could move away, Vlad then slammed his clawed foot right in his chest piercing his body.
“Time… to get my revenge!” Vlad declared.
A loud bang was heard from the side, and turning to look for a moment, Vlad could see a part of the wall had been broken, close to the stage. Dust was gathering, but through the dust a figure was thrown right onto the floor.
“Vere?” Vlad said, recognising the person.
“Alright… so are you guys the trouble makers that caused us to get called in all of this.” A voice said.
There wasn’t just one person that was appearing through the dust. When it settled, he could now see that there were five.
“Vixen, I thought if you were here we wouldn't get called, didn’t you used to be a C rank retriever, how could they have done this to you?” A man standing at the front of the group smiled.
The B Rank retrievers from NIRV had arrived.
