Chapter 52: Battle on the Mountain

(Alkali Lake Weapon X Base, moments later)

The Professor sweats profusely, shaking in terror at the sight of the fiery eyes of the mutant hybrid stalking towards him. The fangs and claws nearing closer to him filled him with ever greater dread. He and the other heads of Weapon X felt the terror gripping their hearts.

"You tortured me for years! Enslaved my mind and body! Experimented on me! Planned to do who knows what with me?! You did the same to Wolverine! But worst of all…you hurt Laura and killed my mother!" Death Cat snarled as he approached the men.

Death Cat growled as he forced the men's backs against the wall. Zander tried to make a break for it. Death Cat snatched him around the throat and threw him against the wall.

"Where do you think you're going?" Death Cat hissed.

"E-Even if you k-kill us…you won't succeed…someone else…someone new will come and continue our good work." Sutters stuttered, trying to sound threatening.

"They shall fall, just like you." Death Cat snarled.

The mutant hybrid growled, eyes ablaze with fury. He raises a hand, claws ready to strike down.

(Outside the facility, several minutes ago)

Wolverine growls as he checks the ground. Laura and the others arrive to see him tracking. The snow begins to fall.

"Not sure what you'll find out here, Wolvie. The snow's starting to fall." Spider-Man said.

"Rrr, can it kid. I've still got Creed's scent. He's here…and so is 'Agent Zero'…they're close…so don't just stand there." Wolverine snarled.

"He's right, I can smell them too." Laura grunted.

"*Sniffs* Listen to them, Web Head. I'm still smelling them. Gah, and Sabretooth needs to take a shower." White Tiger added.

"You at a bit of loss here too?" Deadpool asked, his question directed at Spider-Man.

"Actually, yeah." Spider-Man sighed.

(Well, here's somewhere I never thought I would be…anyways I *Spidey Sense* Oh no!)

"EVERYONE! MOVE!" Spider-Man screamed.

The group looks around as several Weapon X task forces and Stryker's soldiers rush into view of the group. Agent Zero is leading them.

"Where's Sabretooth?" Spider-Man grunted in confusion and fear.

"HERE!" The voice of Sabretooth bellowed.

The group looked up to see Sabretooth falling down towards them, having leapt from a tree with a growl.

"Creed! Rah!" Wolverine snarled as he jumped up and punched Sabretooth, knocking him back.

"Kid! Wade! You two and the others take the gun mob. I'll deal with Creed." Wolverine ordered before rushing off to fight

Deadpool pulled a bazooka out of no where and fired on the approaching soldiers. Several were blown apart in the explosion, painting the snowy ground with their blood and guts. Spider-Man pulled up his mask then vomited on the ground. He pulled the mask down, still shivering from what he saw.

"God help me." Spider-Man whimpered.

"He's with us, freaks!" One of the surviving soldiers bellowed.

"But he won't be able to save you!" Laura snarled, her claws extruding.

She dashes forward. Deadpool pulls out his katanas and follows her. White Tiger looks at Spider-Man, a grin under her mask.

"We gonna let them have all the fun?" White Tiger chuckled.

"'Fun'?...Well no…but-ah!" Spider-Man grunted then squeaked as White Tiger yanked him towards their foes.

Sabretooth picked himself off the ground, cursing under his breath. Wolverine stalks towards him.

"You're gonna pay for what you did to the kid's mother, bub." Wolverine snarled, extruding his claws.

"Really? Like you've made me pay for every other person I've gutted. Face it, Logan. You aren't 'the best you are at what you do'. I am." Sabretooth scoffed, grinning.

Wolverine's eyes narrowed with hatred and he let out an equally hateful snarl as he charged forward. Sabretooth growled as he dashed towards his nemesis. Wolverine snarled as he slashed with his right claws. Sabretooth growled in frustration and pain as the claws cut his chest, leaving three red lines. The cat-like mutant grunted as he grabbed Wolverine's neck and smashed his face into the ground.

"Gotta do better than that." Sabretooth scoffed.

Wolverine quickly jabbed his left claws through Sabretooth's right leg, receiving a grunt of pain in response.

"I'm not done yet." Wolverine grunted as he pulled his claws free then leapt up and tackled Sabretooth.

"Stab! Stab! Stab! Cut! Cut! Cutty cut cut!" Deadpool yammered as he slashed and jabbed through the soldiers with his blades.

Agent Zero rushed at Deadpool. He fired off with dual pistols at the mutate. Deadpool grunted in pain as the bullets lodged into his body. Deadpool slashed with his katanas, but Agent Zero evaded the attacks by jumping away. He kept firing with his pistols. Deadpool grunted as he was able to start dodging the gunfire after the bullets popped out of his body. Deadpool quickly sheathed his blades then pulled out dual pistols himself. The fired and evaded the crossing gunfire.

(Well what do you know, an actual fight for me. This is fun, I haven't had a good challenge in a good while. Heh heh.)

Agent Zero quickly reloaded his guns as he jumped away from a kick from Deadpool. He fired off at near point blank range. Deadpool had reloaded his guns and was doing the same. They weaved around trees as they fired at one another.

"Not a single hit from you. And how many times have I hit you? Heh heh, you always were second best, Wade." Agent Zero scoffed from behind a tree, arming himself with a fallen soldier's assault rifle while reloading it.

"Second best? Second best?! SECOND BEST?! You dare?! YOU DARE?!" Deadpool bellowed in hurt and anger.

Agent Zero heard footsteps directly behind him. He turned around and aimed the gun, firing the assault rifle in the direction he heard the footsteps heading while he yelled. He then pulled out a pistol as he turned the corner. No one was there.

"What the-?" Agent Zero started to say then stopped when he felt something on the side of his head.

His gaze shifted to the side, eyes widening in horror at seeing Deadpool holding a gun to his head.

"Wade! Wait! Please!" Agent Zero begged.

"Bang." Deadpool grunted then shot.

Agent Zero tried to beg, but the shot fired off. His blood flew against the tree and Agent Zero dropped to the ground with his eyes still wide.

"Second best? Yeah, right." Deadpool scoffed then rushed off towards the fight with the soldiers.

Laura slashed her right claws through a soldier's gun as she leapt over him. Landing behind him, she swept his feet from under him. As he fell, Laura used her left claws to jab into his chest. Her right foot claw extruded as she swung towards another soldier, cutting his throat open. Laura turned at hearing a snarl. White Tiger flipped over a soldier. She landed gracefully, quickly following it up with sweeping kicking like Laura's. White Tiger snatched the man's throat and slammed him face first into the ground. She dashed at another soldier, slashing her claws forward and leaving red lines across his chest. She jumped up, slamming her right knee into his face and knocking him out. The soldiers fired off at Spider-Man, who dodged the bullets as he fired off spits of webbing. Each shot encased a hand or the barrel of a gun. Spider-Man fired off several strings of webbing tying several soldiers together. He rushed over and knocked them out.

"How many more?" White Tiger called out.

"Boom baby!" Deadpool laughed, throwing actual bombs towards the last soldiers.

The soldiers cried out in horror before the bombs exploded, sending their remains flying. Spider-Man pulled up his mask again, vomiting on the snow covered ground again. He shivered as he put his mask back over his mouth.

"None anymore." Deadpool chuckled.

"Ragh! Come on, guys! Why do you keep-" Spider-Man started to cry out until something caught his attention.

The snarls and growls from the battling of Wolverine and Sabretooth drew their attention. The two mutant rivals foot literally tooth to claw. Blood covered each others' bodies as their claws tore and slashed each others' flesh. Spider-Man knew Wolverine is one of the world's best martial artists, having even seen him defeating Captain America in single combat. But now, against Sabretooth…they didn't fight like skilled combatants, but beasts as they ripped at one another with fierce fury in ways that could've overwhelmed many heroes Spider-Man knew.

"Logan! Come on!" Spider-Man gasped then rushed forward.

The others followed him. Deadpool pulls out a shotgun from out of nowhere and fires off a round. The slug grazed Sabretooth's forehead, receiving a snarl of pain from the mutant. Sabretooth grabs Wolverine's right arm and slings him away. Laura rushes to Wolverine.

"WILSON! RAGH!" Sabretooth bellowed as he charged towards the group.

Deadpool threw the shotgun away then unsheathed his blades. He leapt forward and jabbed with his swords. The blades slash at Sabretooth's arms, cutting into his flesh.

"Agh! I'm gonna disembowel you!" Sabretooth hissed in frustration and pain.

Sabretooth snarled as he swiped with his hands at Deadpool. The merc with a mouth dodged the attacks and jabbed with his blades, but Sabretooth growled as he dodged the attack with another swipe. This attack hit its mark, tearing off Deadpool's head.

"AAHHHH!" Deadpool screamed as his head flew away and hit a tree then dropped to its base facing Sabretooth.

"Wade!" White Tiger gasped, rushing over to his head.

"That's sweet of you, Tiger, but you have other things to worry about." Deadpool warned.

White Tiger heard him coming. She leapt up into the tree before Sabretooth's claws came near her.

(Man, I'm not looking forward to this.)

Spider-Man leapt forward, throwing a punch at Sabretooth. Sabretooth caught Spider-Man's fist, causing Spider-Man's eyes widening in shock.

(Crap.)

Sabretooth grabbed Spider-Man by the scuff of his neck with his other hand. He snarled in Spider-Man's face. Spider-Man gasped in fear, new blood drenching his costume from some of his now reopened wounds.

"I should've squashed you the moment I met you." Sabretooth hissed.

"Well, you did try to." Spider-Man chuckled nervously.

"I won't fail this time." Sabretooth snarled, pulling his other hand back with his claws pointing at the wall crawler.

"GET AWAY FROM HIM!" A fierce feminine voice bellowed above Sabretooth.

Sabretooth looks up to see White tiger falling towards him. She throws her right claws forward, cutting his face and leaving five red lines. Sabretooth growled in pain. White Tiger landed on the ground then quickly released a furry of slashes and punches at Sabretooth. The cuts and blows struck his chest again and again. The mutant snarled as she swiped with his right hand. White Tiger ducked under the attack then kicked out with her right foot, striking his face now healed from the scratches.

"Get up! Get up!" Laura growled, shaking Wolverine.

"I will, kid. But go help them." Wolverine grunted.

"If you and I take him on at the same time we can beat him. But you have to get up. Now." Laura stated.

"Alright, kid. Let's do this." Wolverine grunted.

Laura pulled Wolverine off the ground. They both rushed off towards Sabretooth.

"I'm not done with you yet, Creed!" Wolverine shouted.

"Good! Because I'm not done either!" Sabretooth growled in response, catching a punch from White Tiger.

"Tiger! No! Let her go!" Spider-Man cried out.

"You want her? Have her!" Sabretooth scoffed then slung her at Spider-Man, knocking them both down.

"Tiger? Are you-?" Spider-Man gasped, his voice thick with concern.

"I'm fine…are you?" White Tiger sighed in response.

White Tiger places a hand on his masked face. Her eyes are filled with concern as she notices the new blood on his costume.

"Tiger…I…if…if I die on this mountain-" Spider-Man grunted in pain.

"Don't." White Tiger hissed.

"Tiger, please…if he does kill me…I…I just want to let you know…" Spider-Man stammered.

"Web Head?" White Tiger gasped.

"Tiger…I…I lo-" Spider-Man started to say.

Loud growls cut him off. White Tiger and Spider-Man turned to look to their side. Laura and Wolverine rush at Sabretooth, who charges at them. Wolverine jabs with his right claws, Sabretooth grabs that arm and punches his foe in the face. Wolverine growls in response as he jabs with his left claws. Sabretooth snarls in pain as they puncture his lower torso. Sabretooth snarls as he slams his fists onto Wolverine's back. Wolverine falls to the ground, his claws popping out of Sabretooth. Laura snarls as she lunges forward, kicking out with her left foot. Sabretooth grunts as her attack hits, knocking him back. Wolverine and Sabretooth both get up. They tackle one another. Wolverine snarls as Sabretooth lifts him off the ground, but quickly head-butts his enemy. Sabretooth snarls in pain as he stumbles back, a hand on his bloodied face. Wolverine hears falling footsteps behind them. Sabretooth shakes his head, his face healed. He lunges towards Wolverine, who respond with a kick. Sabretooth skids back against the snowy ground. Laura yells as she jumps onto Wolverine's back then off while lunging towards Sabretooth. Her left and right claws slash Sabretooth's chest. Sabretooth bellows in pain and anger, blood flying. He grunts as he falls onto the ground. He places a hand on his chest, blood dripping between his fingers. Laura snarls, raising her right claws. Wolverine walks forward. He watches Sabretooth, who he sees a smile on his hear hidden face.

"Kid! Get back!" Wolverine yelled, rushing forward.

Laura turns to look at Wolverine for a moment yet turns quickly when she hears a chuckle. But Sabretooth lunges towards Wolverine and past Laura. The two snarl as they tumble in the snow before Sabretooth is on his feet, repeatedly punching Wolverine's face and then slamming him onto the ground. Laura growls as she lunges forward. Sabretooth snatches her around the throat.

"Now, let's hear you scream." Sabretooth chuckled.

He jabbed his claws into her lower torso. Laura screams in pain.

(Inside the facility, present)

Death Cat prepares to slash down with his claws. He hears a distant sound and recognizes it. His eyes widen with fear and concern.

"LAURA! NO!" Death Cat yells fearfully.

"Sabretooth." The Professor chuckles.

"Heh heh…it comes down to this doesn't it: getting your revenge you've lusted after for so long or save someone you barely know." Zander chuckles.

"That means there's no contest." Death Cat snarls.

His hand clenches into a fist then swings its. He knocks out the Weapon X heads in one swinging blow. He rushes off in the direction of the sound.

(Again, I'm so sorry for the late update. I hope to update more often. I hope this makes up somewhat for the months long delay.)
