Ok, part four.
***
Bonding, AKA Trying to Kill Each Other
***
The tension in the glass-walled room was rather thick, as Lucian and Viktor hadn't said a single word for a while; instead they just glared at each other. Azrael, and the rest of the group had left, leaving them alone with Voorhees, who walked around the room, glancing at the two hybrids every once in a while. Finally, Lucian decided to break the silence.
"So, do you have an idea how to get out of here," he asked. Viktor stared at him for a moment, and then he raised an eyebrow and laughed.
"If I did, why exactly would I tell you?"
Lucian nodded. "Good point," he muttered to himself, but then out loud, he said, "I just thought that since we were in here together we should try to help each other out."
Viktor strode over to Lucian. "I don't need help, especially from a pathetic animal like you," he snarled in the hybrid's face. He then turned and walked back to where he had been standing. But Lucian decided to egg him on for the fun of it.
"So, what's really bothering you: that I killed you, the fact that you've become the very creature that you tried to prevent from coming into existence by killing your daughter, or that your daughter cares a hell of a lot more about me than her own father, or maybe-"
Lucian didn't get to finish, as he was suddenly sent flying backwards as Viktor had used his hybrid speed to run back to him before backhanding him. Lucian slammed into the opposite wall, and then was blasted off it by the electricity. He fell to the floor, slightly smoking from the blast, before leaping to his feet and shedding his coat, tossing it aside as his fangs grew and his eyes turned back.
"Alright then," he snarled before he fully transformed. His skin changed color, claws sprouted; his ribs grew, until he was in full hybrid mode. Viktor also snarled before going through a similar transformation, but he did not shed his robe, which made him look more imposing. The two circled each other, their fingers twitching, their claws flashing in the light of the room. And then they attacked.
Lucian got in the first blow, tearing three deep gashes across Viktor's chest. The elder roared in pain before ducking and trying to sweep Lucian's legs out from under him. Lucian leapt upward but it made him an easy target as Viktor quickly rose to his feet and lashed out with an uppercut, knocking Lucian up into the air before he crashed back to the floor. Lucian leapt to his feet, smirking at Viktor, as he wiped away the blood that poured from his split lip.
"That's what this was all about," Lucian stated as they circled each other. "You just couldn't bare the thought that your daughter could love a "pathetic animal", as you put it, like me. And just to let you know, she told me that if she could go back in time, she wouldn't change a thing. She regretted nothing, except that she had a pitiful tyrant for a father."
Viktor snarled before moving in and attacking Lucian. He slashed him across the face before slamming his fist into his jaw. "Do you think I was proud of what I had done," he asked as he blocked a punch from the lycan hybrid. "Do you think I enjoyed condemning my only child to death, all because she had fallen in love? DO YOU!?"
Lucian broke off and glared at him. "Then WHY!? WHY DID YOU KILL HER!? WHY COULDN'T YOU HAVE JUST LET US ALONE!?" he roared.
Viktor paused, and then he changed back into his normal form, and then Lucian did likewise. "I loved Sonja, but when I found out about you two, I didn't know what to do. She told me that she loved you, and I believed her. But, I knew if I tried to help you two escape, the council would have probably killed all three of us." Viktor swallowed, and looked at Lucian with a weird expression, almost as if he was afraid of what he was about to say. "I...I'm sorry about what I did to you two. I put what I thought was right for my species in front of my only daughter." He then shook his head. "I can't believe this. I'm sharing my feelings with you, the abomination who is also my daughter's mate." And then, to his surprise, Lucian started laughing. "What?" Viktor asked
Lucian stopped laughing for a second. "I can't wait to see the look on Sonja's face when I tell her that you opened up to me; me, of all people," he said before he started laughing again. Viktor glared at him.
"You think that's funny? Alright, that's it." He hadn't even finished the sentence before turning into his hybrid form and colliding into Lucian, who also transformed. And the two once again continued beating the crap out of one another.
The two failed to notice Palmer and Nigel come in, stun Voorhees with a baton, and carry his body out of the room.

Outside the room, Azrael had been watching the entire scene through a security camera, and was chuckling to himself. "Viktor actually talked about his feelings," He said to himself. "The word is going to end for sure."
***
Marcus sniffed the air. No sign of Viktor. He, along with Jared, Russell, and Janos and several death dealers were looking around the area where Viktor had been last. They had been able to find it do to their lycan senses. They also picked up traces of Lucian, Sonja, and the other hybrid and his vampire lover…and humans.
Russell walked over to a spot near the dark alley where he saw light shining off something. Reaching down he picked it up, revealing it to be a blood stained throwing star. Standing up he walked over to Marcus and tossed it at him, the hybrid elder caught it and then slightly winced when the razor sharp sides dug into his palm, causing small droplets of blood to pour out from between his fingers and down to the ground.
"So, what do we do now," Russell asked, breaking the silence. Marcus opened his mouth to reply, but then he stopped, and sniffed the air, as if he had just picked up something that wasn't there before. Then he recognized the scent: Sonja.
"Well, why don't we go ask someone who should know what happened," he suggested to the group before moving towards where he had detected the scent coming from. The rest of the group quickly followed. After a few minutes of walking he found the origin of the scent.
The subway station.
Walking down the stairs into the station, Marcus stopped when he reached the bottom. He paused, and then he caught site of them. Sonja, Selene, Michael, the warrior Gabriel, and a few others he did not recognize. They also stopped, as they suddenly noticed him. Marcus smirked.
***
Sonja was the first to notice Marcus and the group he was with, they were all knew to her, except for the light brown haired hybrid that Raze had fought at the mansion several weeks ago. She saw Marcus lightly smile before motioning to one of the death dealers. Instantly the hybrid pulled out a modified UZI and opened fire at the ceiling. Instantly all the humans in the area dropped to the floor as screams filled the room.
"If you do not want to be killed, leave the station now," Marcus said loud enough for everyone to hear. Almost instantly all the people stampeded towards the exits, until only the two groups remained. For a moment no one did anything. They just stood, staring at each other. Finally Marcus broke the silence as he moved foreword.
"So, where is Viktor?" he asked as he reached his hand down and unsheathed the sword that was concealed under his robes. Unlike Viktor, who had used a broadsword, Marcus used a shorter sword with a curved blade, like a scimitar. He kept the blade lowered at his side as he moved toward the group.
"We don't know," Michael said first, causing Marcus to arch an eyebrow. He opened his mouth to speak, and then he closed it, and looked at the group. Someone was missing.
"Where is Lucian? Although, if I had to guess the two probably killed each other." he said aloud. Sonja's face darkened at that; but before she could do anything, one of the death dealers aimed his gun and fired at their direction. Instantly the group scattered, hiding behind pillars as they each got out their own weapons. Marcus looked back at the death dealer who had fired with a disapproving expression, before turning and moving back towards one of the pillars.
***
Meanwhile, outside, Palmer and Nigel, who were in a large van that had Voorhees body, heard the sound of gunfire and sped towards the noise. It led them to the subway station. Opening the doors, they both jumped out with the back of the van facing away from the subway entrance. They opened the back door of the van. Almost instantly they were swiped at with a machete, the two were barely able to dodge the attack as Voorhees emerged from the van and looked around for any signs of the two men. When he couldn't find them, he walked towards the subway entrance after hearing the sound of gunfire.
***
Down below several death dealers had been killed, leaving Russell, Jared, Marcus, Janos, and another death dealer, which was dispatched by Gabriel. As he decapitated it, he turned and was greeted by a blade coming at him, aimed for his head. He quickly dodged as Marcus swung the sword, before raising his katana and bringing it down. The elder blocked it with his sword, which he held in one arm. The other arm he used to block Gabriel's roundhouse kick that had been aimed at his head.
Sonja aimed her gun at Marcus when suddenly a pair of huge arms snaked around her waist and lifted her off the ground, and she gasped as Russell started squeezing. She struggled to get free, but it was only a matter of time before her body would be crushed. Then, she snapped her head back, slamming into Russell's face. As he reeled back, she brought up her leg and slammed her foot down between his legs, eliciting a groan from the hybrid. He instantly dropped her and she turned and lashed out with a crescent kick, knocking him to the floor.
As he started to rise, she tried to kick him again, but he lunged, moving with a speed that belied his large size, even considering his hybrid speed, and grabbed her leg, before standing and grabbing the front of her outfit. Lifting her off the ground, he turned and flung her into the nearest wall, which cracked as her back collided into it.
Russell's lips twitched upward in a cruel smirk before he moved foreword, as Sonja started to rise to her feet.
***
In the security room, Azrael, along with Razor, Gavin, Dante, and Havoc, were all seated in the room with amused expressions on their faces. Dante and Azrael were eating popcorn. They had been watching the fight between Lucian and Viktor, which had finally stopped.
***
Lucian and Viktor leaned against opposite walls, panting heavily. They had fought for almost nonstop for a good twenty minutes. Both were bruised, bleeding, and exhausted, and the floor was covered with their blood. Both were also back in their normal forms.
"Well," Viktor began, as he tried to get his breath back. "That was a rather large waste of time." Lucian nodded.
"Yeah, but I was winning," Lucian responded with a smirk. Viktor glared at him, but it wasn't like the glare that he had given him so many times before; it was different. "What?" Lucian asked.
Viktor sighed before answering. "I swear, this is insanity," he muttered. Lucian raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?"
Viktor looked at him for a moment before responding. "I've been through a lot of grief these past few days that I've been alive. I find out you're still alive, Kraven betrayed the coven and caused the death of Amelia, Selene lost her respect for me when she found out I killed her family, and she helped in my death with you; I get revived as this hybrid, and I find out my daughter's still alive, and now here I am, held captive by a bunch of humans with my future son in law."
It took Viktor almost two whole seconds to realize what he had said before his eyes widened and he got a surprisingly horrified look on his face. He looked over at Lucian, who was staring at him with a very strange look. After a few moments, the look vanished, and Lucian grinned.
Viktor furiously shook his head. "Please tell me I did not say what I think I just said. No… there's no way that I could have just called you my…" He trailed off, and looked like he was about to go into shock.
And Lucian was enjoying every second of it. "Future son in law," he finished for Viktor. "I knew you would come around."
"SHUT UP!"

"What the hell is going on in here?" Alex asked as he and Dorian entered the security room. Everyone looked at Alex, and then Havoc answered with a shrug.
"We were watching them fight," he began, pointing to Lucian and Viktor. "And then they stopped, Viktor called Lucian his future son in law, they both looked rather scared at that. And that's also why he's acting like that," he finished, pointing down on the floor, where Azrael was rolling around, laughing his head off tears were pouring out of his eyes he was laughing so hard.
I'm surrounded by idiots, Alex thought to himself. And then suddenly the laughing stopped. Everyone looked back down at the floor, where Azrael's eyes were now shut, as if he was asleep.
"I think he passed out from laughing so hard," Dante said as he looked down at the lycan. Alex rolled his eyes and lowered his head, bringing up one hand to massage the bridge of his nose.
"THIS is the best service I could hire," he muttered to himself. "I might as well just let those two out and let them kill everyone in here."
