Sabertooth looked out at city as it burned he found it strangely soothing watching all of that destruction "I understand now why they say Nero played the fiddle and sang as he watched Rome burn." He said to himself until he heard a voice crying out to him.

"Creed! Victor Creed what the hell is this you promised me the Sentinels would protect this city! You promised me that they would stomp out the mutant threat!" Kelly shouted outraged.

Sabertooth turned to face his accomplice he couldn't help but grin "I promised you a army now have I not lived up to my end of the bargain."

Senator Kelly's blood ran cold "My god Mr. Logan was right your really only out to destroy him." Kelly took a deep breath and in a futile atempt to reason with the monster said "Listen regardless of your reasons for going after Mr. Logan those are innocent people out there you don't need to kill them."

"Yes I do!" Sabertooth roared bearing his teeth "I made a promise I'd destroy everything and anything that he holds dear."

"My god you really are a villain."

Sabertooth sneered "No I'm not a criminal, I'm not a villain what's happening here right now it's not about power or money or some shitty idealistic dream it's just personal. I made a promise to that man long ago and now I'm going to fullfill it. I'm going to kill Wolverine tonight but not before his old team the team he had before being drafted into the Weapon X program suffers like I suffered."

"Sabertooth!" Wolverine cried with such a ferocity that it could be heard from across building

"What the hell was that?" Kelly asked distancing himself from Victor Creed.

"Well speak of the devil you might want to leave Senator this isn't going to be pleasant." Sabertooth smiled as he walked out of the office.

In his dispair all Kelly could say was "My god what have I done?"

Five Years Earlier...

He turned to his right looking out at everyone walking by "I miss miss this you know."

"What do you miss exactly?" Skye laughed.

"I don't know I guess I miss everything you, me and..." He paused for a moment he knew there were other people he was missing but he couldn't remember them why couldn't he remember?

"Is something wrong?" Skye asked.

"You know when your trying to remember something and then all you do is draw a blank?"

"Is that what's happening right now Ward? Is your past slipping away?"

He just gave her another weird look "Whose Ward?"

Skye took his hand and smiled "It's not important but I have to know why this restaurant? Why of all the memories we had together would you pick this one?"

"I..." He started to stutter struggling to remember the reason "I had a plan or at least I think I did maybe it was a naive fantasy I guess I just wanted to keep the lie going you know."

"What was the lie that you wanted to keep going?"

"I... think it was huh I can't remember. Why are we even here in the first place?"

Skye laughed "I don't know you tell me this your island."

"My island?"

"Your mind, your memories Ward their disintegrating right now your clinging to this memory but soon you wont have even this."

"Well at least I'm going into oblivion with you whoever you are."

Skye started to cry "That's just it I'm not even here I'm just your subconscious you idiot." There was a bright flash of light and suddenly it all went dark.

It was all a blur after that the last thing he remembered happening was explosions screaming and fighting. There were scientists running for their lives one fell and in moments he was on top of the man. Metal claws shot out of his hands and in a beast like frenzy he mauled the poor bastard who was crying and begging for mercy.

After his kill he roared so loud it echoed throughout the facility striking fear throughout the complex. Yes the man known as Grant Ward had died and someone else no something else had risen in his place as to what he was now and what he would be well I suppose only time would tell. One thing though was for certain nothing would ever be the same again.
