The Inferior Carnage
Chapter 2
A new threat

Carnage clenched his fist's together as he readied himself for battle. Scorpion picked up his sword as he held it tightly in his right hand. Moloch and Drahmin stood there waiting for the two standing warriors to make the first move. Carnage licked his chops. As he is about to lunge forward a sword pierces through Moloch's chest. Drahmin turns to see who has ambushed them only to have his chest sliced open by the same blade. It happened so fast. Blood leaks from the two fallen warriors. Scorpion and Carnage look over at the one responsible. It was a guy wearing a full body suite with a mask on. One side of his mask was a dark blue color while the other side was orange. He had a rifle to his side with another sword.

"Who are you?," Scorpion asked angered by another intruder. "And what are you doing here?"

"My name is Slade, but you two can just call me Deathstroke." The warrior replied.

"What, are you some kind of assassin?" Scorpion asked crossing his arms.

"You could say that." Deathstroke replied.

"In that case, who sent you?" Carnage asked.

"That does not matter at this moment, we must leave this realm. We'll discuss what you want to know later." Deathstroke said taping a device on his wrist opening a portal.

Scorpion and Carnage glimpsed over at eachother nodding. They both jumped in after Deathstroke as they were teleported to a new realm. It didn't take long for the new trio to make it to the new realm. As they landed on there feet Carnage sniffed the air to smell a great deal of blood. The first thing that came to his mind was/where are they?

"We'll move towards the west, it's the quickest way out." Deathstroke said.

"But by far the most dangerest route." Scorpion added.

"Where are we anyway?" Carnage asked.

"We are in the living forest." Scorpion answered his question.

"Why are we in such a hurry to get out of this place?" Carnage asked.

"The Tarkatan's are heading through this way, we don't need a brutal encounter if we can avoid it." Deathstroke say's.

The three of them begin there journey through the dark forest. They can here the crackle of the leaf's as they walk upon them, they can smell a strong tent of blood in the air as a light breeze pushes by. It seemed as if every tree they passed by seemed to move the next second. Cletus would look back now and then to see that the positions on the stems changed. Deathstroke stepped on a twig on the ground which made metal spikes shoot down from the trees, they all lunged out of the way. There were many other traps that the three warriors dodged. They came to an area in the forest which had a circle opening which lead to four different directions. They had been advancing for about 18 miles but didn't have to make a direction choice until now.

"Alright, we head to the path to the left." Deathstroke said.

"No, I've been through this place many times, we head forward." Scorpion said.
Carnage sniffed the air.

"He's right, we head forward, any other path leads to more of the forest." Carnage said.

The three of them went up to the middle path as an arrow stroke down infront of them. The three of them turned to see dozens of Tarkata warriors grinning.

"It looks like they want to fight, or do they always look that way?" Carnage asked.

"Talk is cheap, let's take these chumps down!" Scorpion yelled drawing out his sword.

Many Tarkatan warriors circled around them as there blades shot out of there arms. Everyone stood standing there for a good amount of time. The only thing that be heard was the whistling of the breeze. The Tarkata's made the first move by lunging into the air. Scorpion responded by jumping up after. Scorpion swung his sword up in the air as two Tarkatan warriors fell to the ground lifeless. Twenty Eight of them remained as they charged Deathstroke. Using his super human speed Deathstroke raced past all 28 of them slicing there necks open.

"I guess that takes care of that." He said putting his sword away. "We better keep moving."

The three of them walked through the chosen path, not even a minute later they could see a village from above where they stood.

"Were almost there." Deathstroke said.

"What do you mean?" Carnage asked.

"I'll tell you when we get there." Deathstroke said.
