Back to the present, both R.M and Michael are no in the center of the maze and the looks and see it's all forest but each of the trees are black and twisted and unusual as some of them have what look like human faces which blend in with the bark or the circle pattern. Then both suddenly hear some sort of growl which a slight distance and they is look and see it's some sort gigantic wolf whom is pitch black and is about twenty feet tall. The fur of the creature sticks out like spikes that can prick and cut. It's has strong hand legs that look big enough to go half a mile and are ready to pounce and claws that are big enough to crush human skulls. The wolf creature is growling with such cruelty and anger, even drooled a little but's it's eyes are the cruelest as there are colored yellow where it should be white, and the pupils are pure red, and each eye holds the vision of Michael and R.M.
Michael then steps up and says, "So you're the one causing this, one of the beasts of Genevalan?"
R.M. looks at Michael surprised he has knowledge of this beast.
Michel says, "You're also the one that hit me downstairs with that stench you emit, one of your calling cards."
The wolf creature is then walking back and forth, constantly staring at both and then speaks out in a very cold manner.
"Glad that you remember me, you know Michael I have been
around long enough to know your family and long enough to be
responsible for both your ancestor's ruin and your
own with your family, hmm hmm I see that look of
rage in your eyes, shall we begin."
Michael says, "I have a question first, why set both of us up, why both of us?"
Black Wolf growls a bit and responds.
"Because I have seen within both of your souls, both your lives are
Troubled full of darkness. I know about your girlfriend and parents Michael. Same with your family and relationship R.M. I can give both of your paradise if you let me feed on you; I can take it all away your pain is food to me. If you kill me your pain could continue forever and killing me would add more on till it unbearable to live with and it destroys your soul. So, make your decision quickly my hunger grows restless and I would very much love to kill you right now."
R.M. then steps up and says, "I've learned to live with a lot of things,
kill you won't be any different."
Michael then looks down and then looks up and says, "My ancestors hunted every one of you, but you were the one that got away; I'm the bloodline that is going to finish you."
Shadow Wolf is extremely mad from the comment, he then tenses up and then suddenly pounces on both. Both can dodge, Michael takes out his two short katanas and R.M. her broadsword. The Wolf is slashing at Michael first but Michael he blocks every one of the strikes but is unable to contribute an attack from how fast the wolf is swiping at him in all different directions and constantly moves forward trying to back Michael into one of the trees. Michael realizes what it was trying to do and then at the right moment Mike when he executes another block he then rolls left as the creature swipes with it's left paw. The force of the swipe takes out a huge chunk of the black tree and suddenly comes crashing down. Michael gets up but then suddenly the wolf runs quick and then butts Michael in the stomach with it's head and Michael flies dropping his katanas and hits the back of one of the trees and is knocked out from it.
Shadow Wolf has a small smile of triumph from his effort and is about to converge on Michael but then the Wolf feels a sharp pain on its back and is drawing black blood from the thigh of its hind leg with has a big diagonal slash. It looks at where the slash come from and it's from R.M. whom has come to Michael rescue. Shadow Wolf realizes it must deal with her and so it then turns on her and is swiping at her, and R.M. has the same dilemma as Michael as she is blocking but is unable to attack or get enough distance. Michael he then comes out of it and sees R.M. whom is blocking but won't be able to keep it up forever as the Wolf is closing in trying to also corner her to a tree. He then takes out his shuriken and is running at a steady speed toward his lost short katanas and is throwing each shuriken at the hide of the wolf which at first with one doesn't faze it as if it were nothing but a mosquito bite and continues its attack on R.M. but then four more sinks though and start to burn his hide. The Wolf then howls a little in pain and back away for a little bit. Michael takes the katanas, shelves them, and he sees a tree branch and then with a special cuff on his right wrist he swings it which brings out a cable and mini grappling hook. It makes a small loop onto the branch and retracts a little, Michael then swings on the rope toward R.M. direction. Once the swing has made its complete arc it then let's go of the branch and Michael lands where R.M. is and he then says, "Need a hand?"
R.M. gives a small smile and says, "Don't make jokes."
Shadow Wolf recovers and then Michael then takes out his short katanas and goes into a stance along with R.M. with her broadsword. Shadow Wolf looks at both madly determined more than ever to kill them. Shadow Wolf, Michael and R.M. charge at each other and then they make their swings and it ends in an interlock as Shadow Wolf is holding Michael and R.M.'s sword strikes with it's claws. Michael and R.M. are pushing against it but it's so strong that even their combined strength can't shake the wolf off balance.
Shadow Wolf then breaks the interlock by howling the loudest howl ever which really hurts both R.M. and Michael's ears so much they can't maintain their lock and hold of their swords and so they both let go and go down as a little blood comes out of their ears from the soundwave. Before Michael could recover suddenly the creature shoves Michael hard on the ground with both of its paws and Michael is pined to the ground unable to move paralyzed almost. Shadow Wolf with it's right paw then Shadow Wolf who is holding Michael by the throat and is giving out a cruel smile of triumph.
Shadow Wolf says, "I will feast on you alive mortal, die as many fools for good have."
R.M. recovers and she quickly gets her bearings and sees Michael in trouble. R.M. is still shaken from the ringing in her ears and she move her right arm and moves her hand up and the retractable wrist blade comes out but then she twists her hand clockwise and there is a small click on the wrist and the blade flies out and hits the Wolf in the eye. Shadow Wolf howls in pain from the projectile lodged in his eye and then suddenly Shadow Wolf feels something on his left side and then reels from it. Michael sees the weakness as his knife is made of silver and has the name of Leah engraved on it he drives the knife made of silver into Shadow Wolf. Shadow Wolf screams in pain and then Michael drives it even further into his torso as well as his own arm. Shadow Wolf violent thrashes but Michael keeps he arm complete in the hide of its torso, shaking and twisting the knife to mess up the insides of the Wolf. Shadow Wolf feeling the big burning sensation on its insides, the pain is so strong it then down. Michael he then pulls his arm out of the hide of the wolf leaving the knife inside lodged, Michael's right arm is covered complete with warm black blood, but Mike isn't concerned about it as he stays focused on getting his short katanas.
Michael picks up both his short katanas and then puts them in a scissor position and then points them toward Shadow Wolf. Shadow Wolf looks at Michael fiercely despite his weakened stated but suddenly as if there was some strength that somehow turned on once more, Shadow Wolf then barks out and then tries to pounce on Michael but Michael crosses his harms with both swords and executes a simultaneous scissor cut which then takes Shadow Wolf's head off and it rolls one direction while the body that has pounced lands on Michael and the bloody stump left from Michael's slice then gushes out blood which sprays out toward Michael's face. Michael clamps his mouth and eyes shut till the gushing stops which comes in red at first and then black. Michael then opens his eyes; his whole face is covered in both red and black blood from the Wolf and then he tries to push off the Wolf but it's size is just a bit heavy and large despite how much weightlifting Mike has done. R.M. helps Mike lift the body off him.
Michael says, "Thank god, damn smells worse dead."
R.M. has a small smirk.
"You don't smell so good yourself."
"Is that a smart ass remark I hear."
R.M. raises an eyebrow.
"Don't think it means anything."
Suddenly Michael and R.M. hear a rumbling both suddenly run, they see the center of the maze has an exit which leads to the basement and they suddenly run up the stairs and come out through the basement doors and then both are finally out of the house and then it explodes in an explosion.
