Author's Notes: Well, I'm glad you guys are still enjoying this story, despite the weirdness of adding a bunny. Not sure where that came from. If you guys thought the Nemesis/Tyrant fight was a gyp, I hope this makes it up to you.
Nemesis shook off the initial impact of being dragged through the floor, but was otherwise all right. It looked around, finding the creature that tried to impale it before. Tyrant looked down on the Nemesis, finding it to be a disgusting waste of flesh, and thought it to be one of the few humans it could hear while in its prison. Nemesis glared at the taller creation, finding it to be nothing more than a weakling without its massive claw.
"Staaaaaarrrrrsssss…" Nemesis hissed.
Something triggered in Tyrant's mind, a delayed program of sorts. Before its eyes, Tyrant saw a complete detailed analysis of its opponent including an interesting directive to eliminate specific human targets. A few were checked off, except the one it wanted to kill: the arrogant human that somehow triggered its "anti-kill" protocol. Tyrant knew what to do now, as disgusting as it seemed, and that was to absorb the other Tyrant-class creature into it.
Nemesis charged at Tyrant, its fist ready to break its enemy in half. Tyrant was ready with its heavy claw. The serrated blades slammed through Nemesis fist. The heavily-muscled creature struggled to free itself, but found it to be quite difficult. The tentacles imbedded in the Tyrant's claw burst through Nemesis' arm and proceeded to wrap around it.
"Staaaaaarrrrrsssss!" Nemesis roared. With a might bellow, Nemesis pried its fist free, taking several of Tyrant's tentacles with it. Nemesis knew its arm would not be of any use for the rest of the fight, but that didn't matter. This creature dared to stand in the way of its mission, and Nemesis could not allow that.
Tyrant's serpent tongue fired at the smaller Tyrant, wrapping around its neck. Confused and angered, Nemesis struggled to get the wretched thing off. Tyrant lifted Nemesis up, barely straining the muscles in its serpentine tongue, and slammed it down on the ground. Nemesis' body rocked the floor, splintering the heavy stone of the shooting range.
With a growl of effort, Tyrant flung Nemesis into the far wall. The heavier Tyrant busted it, leaving its impression. Tyrant charged for it, the tentacles in its claw bursting forth. Nemesis glowered at the incoming beast and grabbed its menacing talons.
"Staaaaaarrrrrsssss!" Nemesis roared furiously. With an inhuman scream, Nemesis ripped the confused Tyrant's claw out of its hand and crushed it with its bare hands.
Tyrant roared in pain, its primary weapon now gone. Nemesis dropped itself from the wall and slammed its powerful, meaty fist deep into Tyrant's chest. The taller creature screamed in agony, just as another strike sank into its vulnerable heart. Tyrant dropped to its knees and then had its face kicked in by Nemesis' massive foot.
"Stars!" Nemesis grunts, taking Tyrant by its shoulder. With a loud grunt, Nemesis hoisted Tyrant above its head and busted the de-clawed creature's back on its knee.
Tyrant moaned in its defeat, but Nemesis wasn't sticking around to bask in its victory. It had better things to do and it picked up the scent of one of its targets.
"Jiiiiilllllll," Nemesis hissed, smashing through the remains of the shooting range.
Tyrant was left alone, its regenerative powers working in overtime just to keep it alive. It didn't understand why it lost to the behemoth and he didn't have much time to dwell on such thoughts. Tyrant could feel another presence in the room, obviously drawn to the grunts and roars of the titanic creatures engaging in battle. Two creatures shambled toward the fallen Tyrant, each a sickly white.
Information flickered in Tyrant's eyes, identifying them as "Iron Maidens." Some strange creature Umbrella devised utilizing their cloning technologies to replicate the parasitic creature who's DNA was handed to them. Although information was incomplete on them, Tyrant knew one thing: after absorbing them, it would be back on its feet.
Tyrant fired its Licker-tongue at the closest Iron Maiden and drew it towards its mouth. Tyrant's jaw unhinged enough to swallow the creature whole and the result was instantaneous. Tyrant's broken body was completely healed, except its claw had not regenerated yet. The second Iron Maiden slowly backed away from the taller creature, but eventually met the same fate as the first.
Tyrant licked its lips in triumph. After a few seconds, its body became racked with pain. Its body expanded, its muscles exploded, turning it into a massive beast reminiscent of the Nemesis. Tyrant roared, when suddenly, its claw grew back with sharper talons than ever. Its normal hand also bared claws and a serrated edge than from its wrist to its elbow. Metallic spikes sprouted out of its back, and Tyrant could feel that its teeth had become jagged fangs.
That's when it realized how this transformation came to be. The Licker it absorbed had the ability to mutate when it devoured fresh flesh and blood, but what confused the Tyrant was it absorbed two previously dead creatures…or did it? New information penetrated its brain, revealing that the Iron Maidens were still alive when experimented on and weren't dead in the conventional sense.
Tyrant smiled maliciously, knowing it now possessed far greater regenerative powers than its abominable cousin, but the smile quickly faded when it realized its "anti-kill" protocol was still intact. Grunting in dismay, Tyrant smashed through the wall Nemesis slammed into. Its hunting instinct was greatly increased now that its Licker DNA had mutated, and could smell the presence of three humans close by.
