"So what your saying is that Keelut killed everyone in the village, by unleashing some kind of virus?" Doreen whispered to her boyfriend as they sat at a small table in the library.
"So it would appear, Keelut got the revenge he wanted for not being chosen it would seem." Tobias said in a serious tone as he answered his girlfriend's question.
"It's horrible to think that those people suffered because of a single choice," Doreen began before pausing to take a breath, "All those poor people gone, within a few weeks." Doreen said sadly with a tear making it's way down her face.
"It's sad to think, but it gives us more incentive to bring down Keelut, I promised that woman that we would bring him down, and I'm going to damn well keep my word. Are we in agreement?" Tobias asked his hyperactive girlfriend. Doreen simply nodded her head silently, now with a fierce look in her brown eyes.
"Good, now let's get out of here, we have a lot of work to do." Tobias said as he stood up and pushed in his chair, Doreen followed suit and the two of them began to walk towards the library door. Suddenly a noise caught Doreen's enhanced hearing, and it made a terrified look emerge on her face.
"Get down!" she yelled as she tackled Tobias to the ground, resulting in a knife implanting itself into the wall where Tobias's head was moments before. Surprised only for a second the duo jumped up and took fighting stances, Doreen eyeing their attacker, Keelut.
"Hey Keelut, I wish I could say it was nice to see you again, I would have thought my furry friends would have knocked some sense into you." Doreen mocked as Tobias stood up and threw off his coat, revealing his Predator armor, he then pressed a button on his neck and his helmet reformed, covering his face behind an adamantium helmet.
"You are going to pay for those squirrels, by the end of this day, I will deliver both your heads to Blind Spot on a silver platter." Keelut snarled as he drew a knife from inside his coat and took up a fighting stance of his own.
"I really don't want to hurt an old man," Tobias began, the armors voice changer distorting his voice, "but for you I think I'll make a welcome exception." Tobias said with a mechanical snarl as he pounded his armored fists together. "What do you think, Squirrel Girl, should we kick his ass?" Tobias asked his girlfriend.
"I agree with that statement, let's kick his ass for all the suffering he's caused." Doreen said with a snarl as she and Tobias both began to approach Keelut. Keelut drew another knife from his coat and threw it at the two of them. But Tobias jumped in the way and caught the knife with his armored hand, and quickly threw it back at Keelut.
"Your not the only one who's good with knifes." Tobias snarled as he triggered his left gauntlets claws and charged, to which Keelut parried the attack with his knife. Doreen rushed in and quickly disarmed Keelut with a kick to the rest, and then sent him flying backwards.
"Not so tough without your weaponry are you?" Tobias snarled in a mechanical voice. Keelut's response was to let out a little laugh as he got back to his feet.
"I don't need weapons to defeat you two." he said with a mocking laugh as he clapped his hands together and a clap of thunder struck Tobias and Doreen and sent them flying backwards threw some bookshelves, resulting in bystanders screaming and then running for their lives.
"That son of a bitch has magic." Tobias groaned a she quickly got to his feet and offered a hand to Doreen, which she took.
"I never really rained against magic users back at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, so I have no real idea of how to beat one." Doreen whispered in partial fear as she took up a fighting stance.
"Follow my lead, I've battled Blind Spot when he's had magical artifacts at his disposal, so I have a little bit of an idea of how to beat Keelut." Tobias whispered as he charged forward and tried to slash Keelut with his adamantium claws, only to have Keelut catch his wrist and hold it in place, surprising the armored hero, as Keelut raised his other hand and held an open palm to him, and it seemed like Keelut force pushed Tobias back into a wall.
"Your technology is no match for my magic." Keelut mocked as he stood over his defeated foe.
"I think Tony Stark said it best, magic is just technology we haven't figured out yet." Tobias said with a cough as he just lay there. Keelut didn't say anything as he pulled another knife out of his pocket and planted it into Tobias's stomach, or rather he tried to, due to the armor sparking with electricity and electrifying the knife which gave Keelut a real nasty shock. Resulting in him starting to twitch and drop the knife. Doreen quickly rushed up and picked up the knife and stuck it into Keelut's knee, resulting in the old man screaming and dropping into a kneeling position.
"Not so tough now, are you?" Doreen mocked a she offered a hand to Tobias, which he took as she hoisted him back to his feet. Just as the two of them where going to figure out what to do next Keelut screamed something in another language and the two of them immediately fell to their knees grasping their heads, as it seemed like their minds where breaking.
"An older spell that causes mental confusion, useful for these kinds of situations." Keelut mocked as he reached into his coat and pulled out yet another knife, making Doreen wonder just how many knives this guy had. "As promised I'm delivering both your heads to Blind Spot on a silver platter. Now one of you to kill first ?" Keelut mused as he took his knife and held it to Doreen's throat.
"I think I'll kill you first for that Squirrel Army." Keelut snarled as he raised his knife and prepared to stab Doreen in her chest, however Tobias using what little of his strength was left jumped in the way and as a result took the stab for Doreen, the knife piercing through his armor and sinking into the mans chest.
"NOOO!" Doreen shouted as her anger was all it took to break the spell as he suddenly rose to her feet and charged at Keelut, knocking him to the floor, where she proceeded to relentlessly punch him in the face, drawing blood. Just as she was about to punch him again she heard something that made her freeze.
"Police, hands on your head!" she heard as she looked up and saw around thirty Anchorage police officers all pointed weapons at her. Doreen raised her hands to her head and backed off Keelut and proceeded to lie down with her hands behind her back. One of the officers rushed forward and handcuffed Doreen and proceeded the keep his pistol pointed at her. One of the other officers was about to do the same thing to Keelut, but the man whispered a spell and turned into smoke, and seemingly floated away, leaving Doreen and a bleeding out Tobias behind.
