Chronicles of the Night

When we last left off, Thor and Ultimo had a fierce battle trading blow for blow. In the end however, Ultimo manages to pull a win. The others attempt to attack it, but all of them fail as well, Lisa even losing her life. Now driven over the edge by this death, Felix prepares to kill Ultimo.

Approaching Nightfall

"Prey… kill Lisa… Felix… kill prey!!!" Felix hissed before charging at Ultimo on all fours.

"All bio-forms shall be eliminated." Ultimo raised both palms and fired beams of energy alternatively at Felix.

"Hs!" Felix weaved and jumped side to side as he advanced, avoiding the beams. Even if one grazed him, he would pay it no mind and keep moving. Felix lunged at Ultimo with his fist drawn back. Ultimo raised its right arm and revealed the blades, it thrust its arm forward, but Felix dodged it.

"…"

BAM

Felix punched Ultimo as hard as he could in the head and sent it sprawling backward. "Query… right arm response time below optimum capacity… evaluate." Ultimo stood up quickly and kicked Felix away towards a tree.

"Hsssssssssssss…" Felix flipped through the air and landed against the tree before jumping off of it back at Ultimo. Ultimo threw a number of punches and kicks that Felix dodged before he kicked Ultimo in the body sending it flying back a short distance before it landed on its feet perfectly.

"…" Ultimo fired two beams of energy at Felix. Felix leaped high above Ultimo, who followed Felix with the beams, trailing behind him only barely. The instant that Felix landed, he tackled Ultimo with all of the strength he could muster.

"HSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!" Felix took his own fangs and went for the area where the throat would be, however unlike Lisa, he couldn't even puncture the metal. "Ha!" Felix reared his head back in disgust before he was kicked off of Ultimo forcefully.

"Agh…" Joseph tried to get up, but he was only hurting himself.

"Felix is our last shot here, can he do it?" Fury asked.

"He'd be fast enough… but I don't know if he'd be intelligent enough like this." Joseph said. "At this point his mental state is barely above that of a savage animal. Augh…"

"We'll get you out of here as soon as we can." Fury told Joseph.

"HA!!!" Felix began throwing as many claw swipes as he could at Ultimo while Ultimo would return with punches, kicks, or blade swipes, all of which Felix would either dodge completely or partially. Felix's claws however weren't doing anything.

"Destroy…" Ultimo flew upward and fired energy beams downward. Felix nimbly ran across the ground to avoid the trailing beams of energy before ducking in to the woods. "Locate target…" Ultimo flew right above the woods and began looking around for Felix.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Felix leaped high in to the air right behind Ultimo and grabbed it around the neck before wrapping his legs around its waist. "Hssssssssssssss…" Felix tried bending the head to the side as if trying to break a neck.

"…" Ultimo leaned backwards and then boosted straight downward, slamming Felix in the ground hard.

"HA!!!"

"Eliminate." Ultimo revealed its right blades, spun around and tried to stab Felix, but Felix rolled to the side, back-handed Ultimo in the face and then kicked it in the head before throwing more punches and kicks.

"Prey…" Felix moaned.

"Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…"

BAM

"HSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!" Felix was blown away by Ultimo's sudden force-field blast. Felix flipped in mid-air and landed perfect on his feet, only for Ultimo to be right in front of him.

BAM

"HSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!" Ultimo hit Felix across the cheek with its fist, it nearly kicked Felix had Felix not quickly caught the leg. Felix then swung Ultimo in to a tree before savage throwing punches at it, slowly breaking the tree at the trunk as he did so, ignoring his somewhat bleeding knuckles.

"This isn't getting anywhere!" Black Widow cringed. Finally getting out of the armor suit with Captain America's help.

"Black Widow, don't even think about engaging in this, in your state you can't help and Felix is liable to attack you as well." Captain America warned.

"I know." Black Widow sighed.

"Kill… prey…" Felix thought, continuing to punch Ultimo before Ultimo sent an electric pulse through its palm and zapped Felix, sending him flying off.

"Stupid animal…" Felix thought. "Do it… my way…"

"Prey… must die!" Felix thought. Felix readjusted himself, Ultimo threw a fist almost straight downward, but Felix jumped right above Ultimo, landed on its back, grabbed its neck and left arm, and then tried digging his claws in to Ultimo's face. Ultimo used its right arm to grab Felix by the hair and pull him off.

"…" Ultimo then drop-kicked Felix quite hard in the stomach.

"HA!!!" Felix couldn't even land on his feet this time. He stood up fairly quickly, coughed up a bit of blood and then bared his fangs. "Hsssssssssssssssssssssssssssss…"

"Ultimo is perfect… bio-forms are imperfect… Ultimo shall eliminate all bio-forms." Ultimo fired its lasers at Felix, who ducked under them before weaving to the side.

"Kill prey…"

"Prey doesn't have a throat though…" Felix thought. "But it does have a heart…"

"Tear prey's heart…"

"Yes… tear prey's heart…"

"HSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!" Felix lunged at Ultimo again and kicked it under the chin. Ultimo responded by swinging his left blades, leaving a vertical cut on Felix's right chest. "HA!!!"

"Eliminate!!!" Ultimo activated his repulsion field and sent Felix flying off before firing his beam at Felix, blasting him as he flew. Ultimo flew in with both blades to finish the job.

"He's going to get run through!" Quicksilver shouted.

"Lisa…" Felix was in the air like a slowly flying duck ready to be shot. As Ultimo drew closer, Felix miraculously readjusted himself and got away with two light scratches on his cheek and torso.

BAM

Felix kicked Ultimo away and in to a tree.

"That's it Felix…" Joseph said.

"KILL PREY!!!" Felix ran forward at Ultimo. Ultimo got up quickly and began swinging its blades at him. Felix began bounding all around Ultimo, to its side, behind it, wherever Ultimo threw its next fist Felix would be on the other side of Ultimo.

"ELIMINATE!!!" Ultimo did a complete spinning kick, which Felix ducked under before lunging at Ultimo.

SHING

Ultimo thrust his left blades through Felix right under his right chest. "Hsssssssssssssssssss…" Felix ignored this, grabbed Ultimo's left arm with his right hand, and reached a clawed hand at the slight opening in Ultimo's chest that Captain America, Thor, Joseph, and most of all Lisa made for him.

"Danger… danger…"

ZAP

"HSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!" Felix felt electricity running through his body. Felix felt it run through his insides and felt the pain. "Lisa…" Felix nonetheless thrust his hand deeper in to Ultimo's chest until his clawed fingers touched something.

"ELIMINATE!!!" Ultimo raised its right arm and drew the blades. "Right arm malfunction… evaluation complete… attack by potential omega-class threat… disabled right arm circuitry… nanobot's pathway to right arm has been severed…"

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Felix screamed as the electricity kept coursing through him, he felt as if he were about to explode. Felix's eyes nonetheless kept glowing with determination. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Felix yanked his arm out of Ultimo's chest, pulling out what appeared to be a battery. Felix fell backwards, blood and smoke trailing from his body as he tumbled through the snow.

"…" Ultimo hit the ground knees first, and then it fell to the ground completely, never to stand again.

"My god… he did it." Fury said in awe.

"Hssssssssss…" Felix shakily got on his hands and knees, dropping the battery, and then he began crawling.

"Be on your guard." Captain America said.

"No… let him be… look." Joseph said.

"Lisa…" Felix moaned. He slowly and weakly crawled towards Lisa's head. "Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…" Felix purred when he was right in front of it. "Prey… is dead… Lisa…" Felix moaned. "…" Felix then fell to the ground with a thud.

"Get everyone together… let's take Ultimo and dispose of it." Fury said in to a walkie-talkie. "Hm?"

"Come on guys…" Joseph said, "Let's go home." Joseph said before he completely blacked out.

Everything grew misty, the freezing rain stopped falling, Fury and anyone still able to move stopped moving, and a kid no older than Lisa wearing white clothing walked on to the scene. He looked at the three Night-hunters lying on the ground with a look that could have meant many things. He then breathed in to speak. "Yes, lay your heads to rest. It's nearly time to go home."

Short I know, but this is chapter 39 everyone. The next chapter is the last one, which I'll probably have posted very shortly.
