Sorry I'm falling behind in my updates. Here's a new one. Anyway, I think I'll borrow an idea from one of Alex Warlorn's stories.

Forte: DON'T YOU DARE, BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!

Beelzemon: Don't mind him. He has a vendetta with the guy. I'd rather let it drop.

Forte: WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU BORROW A COUPLE IDEAS FROM THAT HEARTLESS ASSHOLE??????????

Beelzemon: Don't make me dunk you in the bathtub so you rust.

Chapter 9 - Humanity gone?



Kyle woke up inside the hanger. He didn't see any dragons, but he did see a man with green hair standing over him. The guy sure was big enough to have dragged Kyle into the hanger. Kyle decided to keep his mouth shut.

"Looks like you're awake. whatever ya' are."

Kyle felt pain inside of his chest. He didn't want to know what it was.

"Be glad I didn't turn ya' in, Splicer."

Kyle then figured he could say something. Since the guy figured he was spliced, what harm could come from speaking?

"I was spliced against my will."

"I kind of figured that, but spliced with WHAT?"

"Search me."

Kyle stood up. He easily was taller than the man. Actually, he was bigger period. Kyle walked off.

"Where are ya' going?"

Kyle didn't answer. Instead, he just flew off. The man then walked over to a couple people Kyle didn't notice. However, we can't hear what they're saying.

Kyle followed his sense of smell to another part of Old City. He could smell the three that spliced him, and made him like this. He let his instincts take over as he broke through a window. He wanted to make sure the Splicers paid for this.

"McGinnis! There's a fire in Old City."

"I'm on it."

Cuvier didn't know who or WHAT broke in and set fire to his hideout. All he knew was that Tigress and Ram had been severely injured, and that whatever it was wasn't human.

"COME OUT!"

Cuvier's only reply was the burning of flames, and a low growl. He decided to use his serum that would make him into his Chimera form. He never got a chance to use it. Whatever it was made deep gouges in his arm. Cuvier couldn't move his arm, but it hurt. Then the intruder stepped toward him. Cuvier panicked. He was sure he was going to die. He turned to run, but it pounced on him, and lifted him off the ground. Then it turned him to face its reptilian muzzle and eyes.

"What do you want with me???"

He was shocked when he got a reply. The deep, rough voice from its throat only made Cuvier's fear worse.

"It's what I want FROM you."

"Which is?"

"Your life!"

The last thing Cuvier ever felt was intense heat searing his face. His last sight was flame erupting from the beast's mouth.

Batman arrived at the burning building. Something told him Kyle was involved with this. His fears worsened when Bruce gave him some news.

"Wait a minute. Interpol suspects that this building was a hideout for the Splicers."

"If that's true, then Kyle caused this."

Batman readied a Batarang. The firemen were tending to the fires when he went in. Even with most of the fire out, it was still hot inside. He looked around one each floor, careful to avoid weakened floors. When he got to what looked like a laboratory, he found Kyle ransacking the desks, looking for something. Batman knew it was a cure he was seeking. Batman slowly approached Kyle. Then he nearly tripped over something. He looked down, and saw a dead body.Cuvier's body. Batman did his best to keep from throwing up.

"You again? Are you going to say THIS was an accident too?" Batman said to Kyle.

Kyle stopped rummaging, and growled. Batman took a step back. Then Kyle turned to face him, eyeing him like he was food.

"Don't look at me like that."

Kyle stepped toward Batman in his nonhuman manner. Batman stepped back, not wanting to use the Batarang.

"I'm warning you."

Kyle leapt over Cuvier's body, and continued to advance on Batman. Batman had no choice but to throw the Batarang. Kyle ducked it with ease.

"Oh no."

Then Kyle backed Batman up to a wall, and smelled him. Kyle then lost the hungry look in his eyes, which was replaced with one of curiosity.

"Huh?"

Batman was surprised he didn't make the dinner menu. Kyle inhaled Batman's scent again, and stared at Batman, as if puzzled by his scent. Batman breathed a sigh of relief when Kyle backed away from him, and turned to leave. It meant that 'bat burgers' weren't on the menu.

"HEY!!! WAIT!!!!"

Kyle didn't stop. Instead, he was leaving, probably to go find something to eat.

"KYLE WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!"

Batman realized his slip too late, as Kyle stopped and turned to face him. Batman could have sworn the look on Kyle's face was one trying to remember something. Then Kyle ran off.

"It's like he doesn't know who he is anymore."

"Amnesia?" Max asked.

"No. it's like he's losing his humanity." Terry replied.

Terry, as Batman, was trying to find Kyle, but with no luck. He had called Max to tell her about this. after telling Bruce.

"That must dreg."

"Where could he be?"

Kyle was presently back at the fish stand he robbed once that night. He robbed it again, and again hid by the pond. This time, he would not run and let anyone take his meal away. He ate as much as he wanted before moving on. Then he flew off, and used the land outside of the city to hide in. As he lied down in the small forest, and prepared to sleep, he tried to remember his parents and friends. Images of dragons filled his head, but something told him that those pictures in his head weren't what they should be. he forgot about it, and drifted off to sleep.

Forte: YOU SICK SON OF A DIGITAL BITCH!!!!!!! WHY'D YOU DO THAT??????????

Beelzemon: Quit cussing or I'll have to up the story's rating.

Forte: I'M GOING TO.. AIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Beelzemon: Glad to see you like the saltwater from that bucket over your head.

Forte: I'M GOING TO RUST!!!!!!!!!!

Beelzemon: Then you should've shut up.
