Toad: The Crow: Salvation lost.
Toad sat on the rooftop of Bayville High School, looking out over the town. Closing his eyes, images flashed over his mind of past memories that were once his. Opening his eyes, Toad shook his head in confusion.
He didn't know what he was seeing and then he heard the cry in his head, nodding at the message. Closing his eyes, he understood what happing; he was seeing throw the crow's eyes.
The Crow was flying around Bayville, gliding over the buildings and then it finally saw what it was after. A silver blur streaking throw the streets. Diving down in between the streets, the crow gave chase and followed the silver blur at speed imposable for any other bird. Toad eyes snapped open and his body jumped into action giving chase, jumping from roof top to roof top.
Coming to a rundown shack at the end of town, The Crow took perch on the roof. Toad dropped down onto the roof next to the crow and slipped into the building throw the skylight. Looking around he saw a bare-chested Pietro sit in the corner shooting up on speed.
"Look at this a speedy doing speed yo" Toad said with a smiles glee.
Pietro pulled him self up against the wall and looked around in panic "Whose there?"
Toads replayed form the shadows. "I am everywhere and nowhere. I am he who was alive, then dead and now the living dead".
"T-oad!" Stammered the freaked out Pietro; he got a reply form Toad, as the crow flew at him knocking him to the ground.
"Once Toad; now a Crow" Shouted Toad as he slammed Pietro down as he tried to stand.
The Crow that had been the mutant Toad smiled at Pietro with purple lips. A smile, that caused Pietro to break into a cold sweat. Pushing Pietro up against the wall, Toad glared at him every once of burning hatred he had inside of him.
"You know what was going to happen to me; you knew what he was going do to Betsy when you told Magneto," the Toad spat, his voice getting louder and wilder sounding. "One way trip to Hell; so, all-abroad..." he called out as he chucked Pietro across the room.
"Puh...puh...please don't kill me!" Pietro cried out as his body shook in fear.
Toad looked at him with cold dead eyes. "Why not? You knew he was going to kill me, so why should you live?"
Pietro looked into those eyes and felt a chill go up his spin. "I didn't want you to die. I told him all you need was a good scare and that would be the end of it." Taking a deep breath, Pietro continued when Toad stopped in front of him. "How was I to know you fight back. He was just meant to scare you; I didn't want to lose you like I lost lances to the x-geeks."
See into his soul with the eyes of the crow, Toad felt his sincerity and the person he was slipped out.
"You get stay of execution, yo. Your still going to die but I promise you, it'll be painless unlike the others." Take the dagger he cut the crow image of a crow onto Pietro chest. "You're going to take a message to them for me. Tell them The Toad, The Crow; That Death is coming for them. Fail me and you will die in the slowest most pain full way I can find."
At hearing this Pietro nod, then took of at speed of at his top speed to tell the others. Looking around, he saw five hypodermic needles of uncut speed ready to be watered down for shooting up. Pick them up, Toad slipped them into his coat pocket.
Turning around, he walked out and smiled to him self. The Hunt had begun
