I had done it! I had finally created a poison that could penetrate Max Steel's armor! All I had to do was shift into my tiger form and have the stupid brutes that were my minions attach the tiny vials of acid to the bottom of my claws. Then, it was showtime.
"Come on," I growled at my two minions.
"Yes, sir," the rather lanky one squeaked. I sighed in exasperation. They were hopeless. But whatever. They got the job done...well at least most of the time.
I snarled at them in irritation. "Just hurry up and get ready to attach the poison. This time I shall get him. This time!" I cackled and stalked out the door, my minions following close behind. Hmm… I mused to myself. Perhaps I will give them new names. The lanky one is Twig, and the burly one is Ugly. Yes, that will do quite nicely.
I was jolted out of my thoughts once I noticed we had reached the center of the park. Looking around me and seeing several civilians going about their business, whether it was taking a jog, sharing a picnic, or sitting on a bench. Slinking out of the shadows I turned into the tiger. It was my favorite so far, I honestly hated being a bug.
The minions, Twig and Ugly, had already attached the canisters, and I was ready to kill Max Steel. The vials seemed tiny, but in reality held almost a liter each.
I was in the clearing and people started pointing towards me, screaming, yelling, and fleeing. I found my first target.
A man was trying to help a woman get to safety. It was hard because she kept tripping in her heels. I prowled towards them, growling.
The woman shrieked in fear and cowered behind the man. He was standing protectively in front of her, his arms stretched wide.
"Run, Laura!" He shouted at her. She did, giving me a fearful glance. I didn't stop her. I only wanted the man. My prey.
"Ah, such loyalty." I drawled as I licked my chops. "Even more delicious to taste."
The man in question looked at me in pure fear, and he knew he was going to die. I laughed mirthlessly.
He looked to be in his forties, a little chewy but tasty nonetheless.
Since I loved teasing my prey, I slowly stalked towards him with a menacing snarl. He backed up against a tree and whimpered. I took out my claws, ready to strike, but a fast moving figure scooped him up at the last moment and swiftly sped him away to safety. The clearing and all around it were empty. Now it was only the true target standing before me, my ultimate prey.
"Max Steel."
