Here is a hint for you she English and similar event happened in the ultimate universe. Check out her profile on http/ the answers is there
Toad: The Crow: Salvation lost.
Toad moved skillfully from roof top to roof top and followed the cry of Crow, calling to him to some where. Moving into the shadows of a warehouse, he saw Quicksilver speeding out of one of the buildings. Slowly a smile slipped out from his mouth as he saw the bright oranges of Pyro's jump suite as he closed the shut to the warehouse.
Moving onto the roof, he slipped in throw a skylight to see Pryo dancing around a burning drum barrel like a crazed lunatic. Moving in slowly, he jumped into the air and landed behind the crazy mutant
Toad gave a fierce kick to Pyro that sent into the drum, knocking it flying and spill hot ash out across the floor. Pyro spun round to see who kicked him and came face to face with Toad. With a loud scream, he jump back and let out fire shot from his flamer throwers.
Toad easy dodge it, jumping up onto the gang way. Hidden in the shadows, he saw Pyro coming up the stairs mustering to him self about see things and making how every Jump him pay.
"Come on out Toad if that who your are, your old buddy Pyro wants to give you a hot foot. " The Australian said as he made a fireball and tossed it at one part of the gang way.
A voice came calling out form the shadows "No Toads here; only a Crow."
Pyro spun around, looking at the other gang way across the roof of the ware house as the taunting voice continued. It echoed from everywhere, no true place it's origin.
"Now, you being a gothic writer should know that a crow guilds the souls to here after, right? Well, this one's dragging your's kicking and screaming to the pit it should like; there lots of hell fire for you to play with."
At here this Pyro started to freak, blasting fire all over the places, "Yeah, come on devil bird, bring it on; this time I am going to fry me a birdie".
"Well then, hit the crow and win a prize; three shots try your luck."
Toad went diving to the side, Pyro first shot went wide. As the second shot flew out, Toad jumped in to the air shouting "Up high". Landing on the roof rafters, Toad launched him self in a dive and dodging the third blast, shouted, "Down below".
Toad came flying along the gang way and swinging under the railing, he came up the other side to kick Pyro over the side. The pyromaniac fell into some chains the held him trapped, just above ground level.
As Pyro hit the chains heard Toad say coldly and ruthlessly. "Your too slow."
Landing on the ground he walked up to Pyro with a smile. "I heard a lot of fucked things about you Johnny; how you like the smell of burring flesh."
As Pyro went to answer him, still struggling to get free, Toad cracked him in the jaw and went about removing the fuel tank from his body.
Once done, he pick up a bit of metal that was glowing red hot at one end from were it had been in one of the fires. Looking at it, Toad got an evil gleam in his eyes and smiled
"Well, how about when it's your flesh burning?" At this started, Toad started to Jab him with the rod, burning Pyro's skin as the dead avenger went about torturing him.
Sabertooth carefully entered the warehouse; as he saw the small fire burning, he looked around and saw Pyro hang dead from the chains. As he moved closer on the floor, he could see words written in blood.
He said he liked to burn people
Smell them cook
And hear them scream
So I burnt him
And burnt him
And burnt him
And boy did he scream
And scream
And scream
And scream
And then he screamed no more
No more.
As Sabertooth finished reading, he picked up the sent of person he new was dead; heck, he buried the body. But it was different, strange, like nothing he smelt before. The perfect mixture of a living sent and a dead one.
Moving up against a wall to cover his back, he went to slip into the shadows, when a voice called out.
"I twat I twaw a puddy cat?" Was all he heard and then Sabertooth was kicked out into the light.
Mocking him, the voice called out again. "I did tat puddy cat, I did, I did, I did"
"I going to get you for that!" Shouted Sabertooth, who was on the edge of loosing control.
"What the old puddy cat going to do eat me? Like to see that toothy so come get some" Toad said Laughing Tas he had a maniacal look come over his face.
At hearing this, Sabertooth let out a feral grow and charge at the sound of Toad laughter, knocking him to the ground. Toad thought with all the might he now possessed, he was the strongest in pure power and speed. Nothing could make up for the sure skill and animal fury that Sabertooth had.
After trade of blows and kicks, came to an end when Sabertooth ripped out Toads guts and left him bleeding on the floor.
"You know I never had frog legs but I think Toad legs will taste just as good." He said laughingly as he stood over the broking Toad
"Yeah, one small problem though, toothy. There's no Toad here, he's dead. There only us, the Crow"
As he finished this, Toad sent out a mouth of slime, which Sabertooth easy dodge and in same move grabbed Toad and slammed him into a supporting pillar.
Growl like a mad dog Sabertooth spat into Toads face. "I'm going to gut you for -." But before he finished his sentence, he saw Toad fiddling with some thing in his hand. "What that you got there?"
The feral mutant went reaching for what was in Toad's hand but was stopped. Before Sabertooth could take the item, the crow had flown in to his faces and scratched his eyes causing him to drop Toad. Before Sabertooth could recover, Toad lunged forward, stabbing him in the windpipe with Betsy dagger.
As Sabertooth chocked on his only blood Toad spat at him. "Don't you know curiosity killed the cat?"
Toad laughed as he grabbed broken shards of metal and kicking him onto his back, he speared Sabertooth throw the gut, which pinned him to the floor. As he repeated the process with his hands and feet, Toad speared Sabertooth's tongue as well.
"What's the matter, cat got your tongue?"
As he said this, he reached down and grabbed the dagger pulled it out in shower of blood.
"Now we both now that healing factor makes you hard to kill; so I'm wondering, how much damage can you take before you final die? Now, don't worry about a thing, we got plenty of time to do this. So, just lay back and enjoy the show."
As Toad went to go about his grisly work, he looked Sabertooth square in the eyes "One thing, scream for me."
