Love and Bloodshed
*Shield Helicarrier, Med bay,
The med bay had been a buzz for the past few minutes, four Avengers and 2 high ranking Shield Agents had been hospitalized by the man who was responsible for the city wide blackout that transpired in New York.
Fury had every analyst, Informant and spy he had at his disposal trying to find this 'Cyrus' person, he wasn't going to let this man get away with such acts, 6 troopers where dead and another 12 had been comatose at best. Not to mention that the Silver haired Mystery man had broken out Dynamo who was a large threat to add to the amount of threats that were at large.
Thanks to the descriptions provided by Mockingbird, Widow and Spiderwoman, every Shield Agent, Avenger and Fantastic Four member would be out on the look for the Red eyed, Silver haired samurai. Right now in the Med bay Jessica was the only bedded patient that was conscious as her superhuman qualities helped her recover the best. At her bed side stood her closest friends and teammates. Carol, Peter, Logan, Viktor, Laura and her boyfriend Tony Stark who was also the only one not in costume.
Jessica was wearing a medical robe while hooked up to an IV; she also had bandages covering her mid-section and Tony had her right hand firmly in his.
"How are you feeling Jess?" Carol asked with concern for her friend
"I'm fine, I have had much worse than a few broken ribs and a concussion" Jess smiled in response as her friends were doing everything they could to make her feel comfortable.
"I'm so glad you're safe baby" Tony smiled as he leaned in and kissed her on the cheek, Jessica smiled at her boyfriend's affections. Tony had been sat at her bedside since word got to the team; he had even gone to the trouble of getting her flowers.
"Trust me Tony, I'm fine, the medics say I'll be up and about in a day or two" Jess reassured Tony by rubbing his hand.
"Well, we can't blame you for getting your ass handed to you. I mean how often is it we come across someone this tough?" Logan said
"He took on Widow, Mockingbird, Hawkeye, Jess, Barnes and 18 shield troopers…..without getting a scratch on him, remind me to stay away from this guy" Peter quipped, the Shield agents among the Avengers were not pushovers and could hold their own against very high level villains, so coming across someone who could do this to them was very rare indeed.
"Where is Bobbi by the way?" Carol asked noticing that Mockingbird was not present in the medbay
"Fury has her giving impressions on this guy, any information is welcome he says" Jessica explained
"Every member of the Avengers, Young Avengers and every hero team in the country will be on the lookout, if anyone spots him we all close in and take him down" Tony said proudly
"You said….he…..he had eyes like mine?" Viktor asked gaining everyone's attention. It was a known fact among the group that even after 2 years Viktor was still trying to find out what he was, and now here there was a man who had the same eyes he did. Now it was no lie that many Superhumans on the planet had red eyes, but Viktor's were unique, they glowed and his pupils were a lot more crimson than just a dark red. Not to mention the fact that his eyes could flare up and dim at will.
"He did, they were just like your eyes Vik" Jess said with the upmost certainty
"Are you sure? I mean…my eyes are not easily confused. He couldn't be the same as me…I mean….I have never met anyone like me….he…he couldn't be the same could he?" Viktor asked with a tone that the others hadn't heard him use before. The tone made him sound confused, desperate for an answer and a little bit anxious.
"Viktor, I'm sure, this guy had the same eyes as you, and he was the same height as you, the same build, hell he even moved like you. You have the same accent as him for god's sake" Jessica replied as Viktor actually did something the team hadn't seen him do before.
He started pacing back and forth.
This was completely new to the team; Viktor was never one to get nervous like this, he was usually very cool headed when in situations such as this one. Then again it wasn't everyday he got told there may have been someone like him in the world that he hadn't met in over 900 years, so he was bound to be a bit anxious.
Laura walked over to him and put her hands on his shoulders before saying "Viktor, hey it's alright, stop pacing" Viktor turned and locked eyes with her as he sighed and went back to stand with the others.
"I know this is making you anxious Vik, but please, we have to exercise caution right now, we can't afford to slip up" Jessica said with caution
"Jess is right, this guy could be too much even for you to handle Vik" Carol said
"Really? Then that means he might be the same as me after all" Viktor said, he wasn't thinking rationally at all, his mind was all clouded with excitement and anxiety at the prospect of someone like him roaming around.
"Vik, please you aren't thinking straight, this 'Cyrus' is a criminal and I doubt he would be as excited as you seem to be" Laura tried to discourage him
"Guys do you have any idea what this is like, to be the only one of your species then find out that there is someone like you out there… it's…..more than excitement…..I…..I might finally figure out what I am" Viktor said as he clutched his chest with his armoured hand, he could feel his heart rate speeding up.
"Viktor, calm down alright, you have to remember that this guy threatened you by name" Peter said, referring to what Jess had told them.
"All the more reason for me to go after him" Viktor replied
"Viktor please….you have to get a grip" Laura said with concern as she put her hands on his chest.
Viktor pondered on what everyone was saying and he finally came to a decision "Alright I won't go after him, but I need some answers first" Viktor said as he turned to walk out of the room.
"Get well soon Jess" Viktor said tipping his hat in the female Arachnid's direction
"Hey bub, where are you going?" Logan asked
"There is someone who owes me a few answers….I'm going to go and talk with him" Viktor said as he kept walking at a steady pace until he came to the exit. Callus flew onto his shoulderfrom one of the IV's with a loud caw but before he left and turned and looked Peter dead in the eyes.
"You and Carol enjoy your night Peter" Viktor said with a smile before winking. He then left leaving Peter a little nervous that someone would catch on.
"Does anyone know who he is talking about?" Jess asked
"Not a clue, that guy has been around for a while so who knows who owes him information" Carol said assuming Jess meant the bit about getting info.
"Anyway, I think we have eaten up enough of your time Jess, so get well soon ok" Peter said with a smile as he stood up next to Carol.
"Of course, and you two enjoy your night" Jess replied with a smile
"See ya Jess" Laura waved
"Get well soon" Logan said with a smile
"I will, see you guys soon" Jess said as soon Tony and she were the only ones in the room and in each other's company.
"Don't you have that interview to get to later?" Jess asked Tony
"Don't worry, that isn't for at least a few more hours. Pepper and Happy can stall for me anyway, besides I want to spend more time with you" Tony said with a smile before he leaned forwards and kissed Jessica on her cheek
"So what is it exactly you have planned tonight?" Carol asked
"A few things that will make your eyes widen" Peter smiled behind his mask as he took Carol's hand in his own.
"Good god, get a room will ya?" Logan groaned as the four walked through the hallways of the Helicarrier
"Maybe later" Carol smirked as softly squeezed Peter's hand in hers
Logan's eyes rolled, he had to admit those two had defiantly grown in each other's company over the years. They had gotten to the point where neither of them was afraid to confess how much they loved each other in public, kisses, hugs and holding hands was the norm and Carol had started to become more….'girly' whenever Peter acted like he did. Logan still couldn't believe the fact that being with Peter had managed to completely destroy that emotional wall that she had put up around her.
"So, when will this great night of eye widening surprises begin?" Carol asked with a smile
"About…half six if you are up for it?" Peter asked with a smirk
"I'm game" Carol smiled as she and Peter walked hand in hand.
"Ms Marvel, I will never understand how the hell the web head managed to do this to you" Logan groaned, Laura could only chuckle at her father's predicament understanding how the two had gotten like this in such a short amount of time.
*The Sanctum Sanctorum, New York City
Meanwhile below in the sheltered magical haven known as the Sanctum Sanctorum, residents of the Sorcerer Supreme himself, Doctor Stephen Strange, The mystical defender of this dimension was deep in talks with one of his close friends, the founder of the Fantastic Four, Reed Richards. The two heroes where presently in a room filled to the brim with magical and mythological artefacts, in the centre of the room was a huge glowing magical sigil on the floor beneath the floating Sorcerer.
"I'm telling you Stephen these readings just seem to be getting worse and worse as time goes by. It's not just small rips occurring here and there, these things are becoming more concentrated in areas that are unpopulated and thus harder to find what came through" Reed told the cloaked man who levitated in front of him.
"You think I do not know this Reed? My powers come from the magical energies of this dimension and yet I cannot seem to read the auras of what is entering our universe" the sorcerer explained with a groan
"I'm sorry, Auras?" Reed asked, he may have been a science expert but Stephen was the expert in the mystic arts.
"The life energy of all things, the very energy that courses through the veins of every man, woman, child and animal in this dimension, of course I was able to read the auras of the creatures that came through before I have not been able to read anymore….yet the balance of energy seems to be out of balance" Stephen said
"How can that be? Shouldn't it be impossible to shield that?" Reed asked
"Not by any means I know of, it should be impossible to shield ones Aura from a sorcerer of my calibre. I suppose someone with access to extremely advanced technology may be able to achieve something like this" Stephen said
"You don't mean an alien invasion Stephen?" Reed asked with a weary tone
"Not alien….but….probably not human either. The Kree, Skrull and Chitauri never shielded their auras from me, yet their technology is light-years ahead of Earth's to this day" Stephen said
"Then what do you think it is?" Reed asked, curious to what the Sorcerer Supreme thought
"I am afraid that I do not have enough knowledge of the Multiverse to make an educated guess...though there are those who have knowledge greater than I and I shall have to converse with them" Stephen said, still levitating in the air
"That's at least a start, and I hope you don't mind if I ask but what is your opinion on this registration talk?" Reed asked
"Are they finally talking about it within the senate?"
"Yeah, somehow the President found out about the power outage and the superhuman that caused it, now the senate are talking amongst themselves whether it is a good idea or not" Reed explained
"The laws of men may change with time Reed, but the Sorcerer Supreme does not answer to any man. I am not a simple vigilante, I am the defender of this dimension and thus am above such things" Stephen replied with a calm tone
"You know that won't matter if they do pass it, they will see you like the rest of us and try to get you to register" Reed said
"Thank you for stopping by Reed…I appreciate the company, Wong show Dr Richards the exit" Stephen said as his Chinese companion bowed in respect
"This way Dr Richards" Wong said as he gestured to the door
"Thanks for your time Stephen….let me know if you find the cause for this" Reed said
"I shall Reed, until next time my friend" Stephen smiled as Wong escorted Reed to the exit.
As Reed left the room however the smile Stephen had dropped and he turned and pondered in silence. He may have had power beyond the imagination of normal people but he was still human himself, he feared of what was to come like anyone would, but he also knew that there was something else on the horizon….something about this new superhuman named 'Cyrus' that seemed odd to him.
The Sorcerer Supremes sighed as he closed his eyes and went into a meditative state to help him try and sort his thoughts together.
Little did he know that all the meditation in the world wouldn't be enough to prevent what was to come.
*Forest Hills, NY, Viktor's house
Viktor was sat in the centre of his artefact room, it was where he went to think and ponder on his thoughts whenever he felt like he had to get away from the rest of the world. The items he had scattered around the room where relics of his past, many of them personal items that said a lot about who he was at the time. Swords, armoured suits and other various weapons from around the world showed his warrior side and what he used to be.
He had at least 5 armoured suits, 1 was very medieval style knight armour while another looked more samurai in nature. The other 3 where strange as one looked like it was from Istanbul during the 18th century, another had signs of Chinese ingenuity while the final one looked to be the most recent, a world war 2 era British officer uniform with a khaki coat. The stripes and medals attached to it made the rank look least colonel level.
Viktor looked at the final one fondly and smiled as beside that uniform was a photo from before the war began. The photo showed three lines of British officers stood in perfect formation, many of the men had bushy moustaches that were common at the time and were of normal height, though on man in the photo stood out as he was much taller than any of the others, standing at 7 foot with long black hair.
Viktor before the First World War
Viktor remembered how many friends and subordinates he lost in that conflict and gave a regretful look before he composed himself. He was sat cross legged in the centre of the large room; he was no longer wearing most of his Avenger gear and was instead only wearing his trousers and boots with his necklace hanging around his neck.
Viktor reached up and took off his necklace and looked at the runes engraved on the pendant, he had knew those runes for so long he had memorized their likeness, he had even had them engraved on the Adamantium/Vibranium gauntlets that Tony had made for him.
"You owe me some answers you bastard" Viktor muttered as he clenched the pendant in his hand before assuming a meditation pose. Callus flew from one of the artefacts onto Viktor's shoulder before dissolving into his flesh in a flash of red. Viktor once again opened his eyes and they were enflamed yet he was not conscious.
*Viktor's mindscape
"Alright asshole….you promised me answers….and now I'm here to collect!" Viktor shouted as he walked through the white misty fields that was his mindscape. The sound of his footsteps echoed as he walked through the mist that concealed the ground beneath his feet.
"I never promised answers…..I simply said that we would talk" came the echoing voice of Viktor's doppelganger
"Come out and show yourself! You owe me….I have waited this long and I am not leaving until you tell me something!" Viktor shouted
"Alright then" the voice came from right behind him. Viktor jumped in response and turned as fast as he could as his clone was stood right behind him.
"Jesus! Don't do that alright!" Viktor shouted in surprise
"Hahaha, I'm sorry I couldn't resist, I very rarely get the chance to have any kind of fun nowadays" the clone replied putting his armoured hands behind his back as his cloak hung down low.
"I would appreciate it also if you didn't shout so loud while in here, the sound doesn't carry very well in a mind this large" the clone smiled widely
"Thanks….I guess, though I still want some recognition" Viktor said
"Recognition for what? Your silver haired brethren?"
"….what? You know about him?"
"Anything you know, I know" the clone smiled
"Who is he?" Viktor asked
"I will be honest with you here Viktor, I don't know who he is, but I know what he is" the clone replied and Viktor listened intently
"He is the same as you; you and he share the same blood"
"What do you mean? Like brothers?"
"In a way…..yes. Though in this world you may as well be, he is the closest thing to you in this world" the clone of Viktor replied
"I'm guessing you aren't going to give me the answers I want then?"
"Of course not…..not yet anyway"
"BUT WHY!?" Viktor demanded with a rage
"You have much more pressing matters to deal with right now, like this registration act that the Americans have planned" the clone replied
"I suppose you have a point" Viktor acknowledged
"Dam right I do….but" the clone said gaining Viktor's attention
"…If he confronts you Viktor, do not underestimate him" the clone said with the upmost seriousness, Viktor could tell in that tone of voice that he wasn't kidding so he decided to listen to his advice.
"….alright….alright I won't" Viktor replied
"Good….now, I suppose you have better things to be doing right now" the clone replied as he turned and began to walk away
"Will you have those answers next time?" Viktor called
"That depends on your state of mind when you visit again my friend" the clone turned around with a smile before fading into the mist.
*back in reality
"Well…..that went well" Viktor said
"Caw!" Callus agreed with a flap of his wings
*Unknown Location, Later that night
"I WAS TOLD TO COME HERE FOR ANSWERS….WELL, I AM HERE, NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME!?" Dynamo shouted, his voice amplified by his suit. The room he stood in was very spacious and dark as the lights in his helm where the only things lighting up the place. The room was that of a warehouse and there where storage lockers and crates pilled up around the room.
"Quite yourself Vanko….or would you prefer we call you Dynamo?" came a voice from the darkness, the voice was distorted to all hell and the armour plated Russian couldn't tell if it was male or female
Dynamo then felt his movement scanners pick something up as he turned quickly to the right to see a figure stood right in front of him. The Armoured Russian staggered back in surprise as this person came out of nowhere. The figure stood in front of him was hooded and cloaked but what he could see was a glowing red visor underneath the hood.
"He doesn't look very dangerous….are you sure Cyrus picked the right one?" this one said in a slight deeper voice, from the figures shape and size Dynamo was sure this one was a male as he stood at a good 6 and a half feet.
"Cyrus has never made a mistake before, then again he may just be fooled by all the armour this one wears" came the voice from before, Dynamo then quickly turned to see many other figures gathered in the room. They were all hooded and cloaked but four stood out in particular.
The one who was stood in front of Dynamo that made the comment about him being dangerous
Another one who was sat with her legs crossed, the heels and shape of this figure's legs identified her as being female and a very shapely one at that.
One male who was simply enormous, as he stood on even ground with a giant like Dynamo without the aid of a suit. His arms were crossed showing off his impressive muscles and the armour adorning his figure.
And the final one was mostly defiantly the leader as his pose burst with confidence and superiority. He had his arms behind his back and his armour was very strange in both design and layout. Every one of the figures gathered had glowing red visors which put Dynamo on edge.
"I trust that your lack of speech is saying that you are analysing us and not just a lack of respect?" the leader asked with a distorted voice
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?" Dynamo asked
"Oooooh a curious one…I like it" the female said leaning closer
"For the sake of this relationship working, I can only tell you this Vanko. We are friends of the man who got you off the Raft" the leader replied
"ALRIGHT….THAT IS A START, NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH ME?" The Russian asked
"It is quite simple actually; we want your services in a task we shall be performing within the week, think of it as thanks for breaking you out" the leader explained
"WELL….I SUPPOSE THAT IS REASONABLE, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?" Dynamo asked, he supposed that he should do what these people asked of him as they did manage to break him out of that hellhole.
"We want you to build something for us, I am right in assuming you are a talented Physicist?"
"THAT I AM"
"Good, well I suggest you come with us to out headquarters where you can begin work on it" the leader smiled behind his helmet.
Dynamo nodded as he followed the many other figures to where they were walking. The leader and the other shorter male however stayed behind with their arms crossed.
"Where is Cyrus anyway?" the leader asked
"He said something about 'going to go and have some fun', I suppose he didn't get the workout he expected at the Raft" the shorter male replied
"God help whoever he wants to fight then"
"Just what did I do to deserve a woman like you?" Peter said as he leaned on his elbows over the table. His eyes fixed on Carol's beautiful face; she had really outdone herself as her perfectly applied makeup made her look like a goddess in the flesh.
"Well….the fancy dinner was a great start" Carol replied with a loving glint in her eyes.
Truly Peter had finally outdone himself with the restaurant he had booked for the two of them. He had gone through all the trouble of booking probably the most expensive restaurant in the city, a five star restaurant that served only the finest cuisine. Only people like Tony and Viktor would be able to afford to go there on a regular basis, but Peter had been saving up for a while for this wonderful night as he wanted it to be perfect for Carol.
And no matter the price, she was worth it
"I don't think the dinner covers even a fraction of it. I must have been someone really nice in a past life" Peter chuckled as he inched his hand closer to Carol's and clasped her hand in his softly.
"I think 'nice' is selling you way too short Pete" Carol smiled as Peter held her hand lovingly
"Good god, what would I do without you?" Peter asked as he gazed deeply into Carol's flawless blue eyes
"I don't know, probably go emo, wear black all the time and yet somehow still act like a jackass" Carol joked making Peter chuckle
"Probably do a tap dance routine while I'm at it" Peter joked back making Carol giggle almost uncontrollably at the image of Peter tap dancing just looked unbelievably stupid.
"Oh god don't put that image in there…just don't" Carol said gasping for air after her giggling spree. Peter loved that laugh of hers so much he couldn't believe it, it had literally become the biggest reason he told jokes now.
"Well don't worry, I don't plan on taking lessons anytime soon" Peter chuckled as Carol regained her composure and straightened her blouse out.
"How did you find the meal by the way?"
"For lack of a better word…amazing" Carol winked
"You know, we have to stop with those puns they are starting to get a little old" Peter laughed
"I know right?" Carol laughed as well, it seemed like they couldn't get through a single day without one of them describing something as Amazing, Marvellous or Spectacular. Mind you the two loved the fact that they had their own little in joke and something that really identified their relationship. While some people had pet names they had their little puns and quips between the two of them.
"Do you remember the night we got together?" Peter asked staring deeply into her eyes
"How could I forget?" Carol said remembering that night in the mansion's gym, when the two of them had a sparring match which ended with the two of them making out in each other's embrace.
"As I recall you gave me a minor concussion with one of those kisses" Peter joked
"Hey, I couldn't help myself, I just wanted to eat you up" Carol winked playfully
"You have to stop winking like that or else I may not be able to control myself for the rest of the night" Peter said with a grin
"I say that's an incentive to keep doing it, I like it when you're out of control" Carol smiled seductively
"Well if you don't want to enjoy the rest of your night then that's fine with me. I guess you won't able to enjoy the special something I have planned" Peter smirked as he leaned back in his chair.
"Special something? Ok now you have my attention" Carol said as she leaned forward.
"I hope I do" Peter said as he leaned forward and kissed Carol softly on the lips
"God I love you" Carol whispered in his ear
"I love you too baby" Peter smiled
This night was far from over and the best was yet to come
Meanwhile half way across the city, a robbery was taking place. Not a regular robbery where the culprits where guys in ski masks wearing hockey pads, but the infamous wrecking crew. Piledriver, Thunderball, Bulldozer and their leader Wrecker. The four huge asgardian empowered humans where right in the middle of robbing a jewellery store , breaking the casings and emptying the contents into bags was an easy feat considering the strength level of these men.
"Hey boss, we got everything, should we get going now?" Piledriver asked as he slung a bag over his shoulder
"Yeah, come on boys let's beat it" Wrecker said as he lead the way out of the store only that as soon as they left the store they came face to face with a 7 foot man in a black coat. He wore a strange suit of armour underneath his coat and had a katana at his side hanging from his belt. Though the Wrecking crew recognized those red eyes, they were the eyes of the Avenger who had made them look like wash outs 2 years ago.
"Hey…just who the fuck are you?" Wrecker asked pointing his crowbar at the Silver haired Samurai
"The name is Cyrus….and you must be the Wrecking Crew" Cyrus said pointing at them
"Let me guess, you are one of those 'heroes' ain't ya? Well you ain't gonna stop here pal" Bulldozer grunted
"On the contrary, I have no problems with what you gentlemen are doing….i just want a good workout and you four seem to fit the bill" Cyrus smiled as his finger twitched in anticipation over his sheathe trigger
"Hehehe, this guy wants to tangle with us boys, whaddaya say we show him what we're made of?" Wrecker chuckled as he leaned his crowbar on his shoulder.
"You got it boss!" Bulldozer shouted as ran full belt at Cyrus, intent on ramming into him. Only when he got into range, Cyrus leapt out the way side wards and landed flawlessly on his feet as Bulldozer went crashing face first into a car.
"He, gonna have to try harder than that" Cyrus chuckled before Wrecker lunged forward and swung his crowbar at Cyrus. The samurai dodged every swing of the crowbar as Wrecker didn't seem to have any sense of finesse or skill in his attacks and simply lashed out with his strength.
"You have strength…and you have speed. BUT YOU LACK DISCIPLINE!" Cyrus bellowed at the end as he kicked Wrecker in the gut before grabbing the scruff of his jacket and tossing him into Bulldozer with a crash as the car they landed into exploded into flames.
"Now…who's ne…"
*TWACK!
Thunderball had swung his ball and chain at Cyrus and it had hit him square in the face. The metal ball struck him so hard it sent him hurdling into a nearby shop window with a crash. The huge man retrieved his ball as Piledriver helped Wrecker and Bulldozer up out of the flaming wreckage of the car.
"Ha, that guy was fast but wasn't so tough" Piledriver laughed as he helped Bulldozer get up on his feet.
The Wrecking crew laughed as they all got back their feet and dusted themselves off. But as Thunderball finished winding the chain back around his arm all of the crew heard a laughing coming from the shattered store window.
"Hahahahahaha….now…..THAT IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!" Cyrus laughed manically as he pulled himself from the store window. The Crew's eyes widened in surprise as he wasn't going giddy and wasn't unconscious in any discernable way which was rare as not many could take a hit in the face from Thunderball's ball without getting a serious injury.
"No one has managed to land a hit like that on me for some time" Cyrus smiled as he dusted himself off, his face had not a bruise or a cut on it thus spelling trouble for the Wrecking crew.
"Though that was a cheap shot….I'm afraid I'm going to have to cut off some of your limbs to stop that happening again" Cyrus said as he put his finger on the trigger of his sheathe.
"Tough talk…tough talk for a dead man!" Piledriver shouted as he ran at Cyrus with a smirk on his face but as he raised his fist to attack, Cyrus went into a battle stance; his hand hovered around the space above his Katana handle in preparation.
Cyrus grinned as he pressed the trigger
*BANG!
His sheathe fired a sound like that of a shotgun as the sword was propelled out of his sheathe, Cyrus grabbed the handle as it shot out of his sheathe. Cyrus then used the momentum of the blade to land an extremely powerful strike upwards.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Piledriver screamed as Cyrus sliced his right arm clean off at the shoulder, in a splash of crimson blood all over the pavement as Piledriver's arm landed on the floor with a splat of flesh and blood.
Piledriver clenched the stub that used to be his arm as the wound seemed to have been cauterized. Cyrus grinned as he leapt up and landed roundhouse to his face sending him across the floor and into another car which burst into flames.
Cyrus grinned as his eyes burned red; his visor clamped over the lower half of his face as he took a battle stance gripping the handle of his sword with both hands. The blade was slightly curved as it was a muramasa style Katana with a red tint to its colour. The blade also crackled with electricity and heat that rivalled that of the flames of hell.
"Let's dance" Cyrus grinned manically behind his visor as he flourished his Katana with skill.
"You're gonna pay for that asswipe!" Bulldozer roared as he ran at Cyrus. As soon as the massive man was within range however Cyrus brought his sword down and it collided with Bulldozer's helmet. Spark flew as the two forces impacted unto each other, yet Bulldozer seemed to be at a disadvantage as Cyrus' sword began cutting through his helmet, slowly but surely.
"I don't want to kill you, I'm just going to break you" Cyrus said as in the blink of an eye he took his sword from Bulldozer and spun around to swing his sword and take off Bulldozer's right leg cleanly.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Bulldozer screamed in pain as the sword cut through his leg at the knee like a hot knife through butter. As soon as Bulldozer hit the ground, Cyrus brought down his foot and slammed it into Bulldozer's spine.
"AAAAAAAAGH!" Bulldozer screamed as Cyrus broke something with his foot
"You really don't know how much fun this is!" Cyrus snickered as he twisted his foot with an audible crunch, Bulldozer whimpered in pain.
"You two want to have a go?" Cyrus smirked behind his visor as his eyes burned with intensity as he brought down his Katana and stabbed Bulldozer in his hand causing him to yell in pain.
Thunderball threw his ball towards Cyrus yet again, hoping to get the same sort of hit he got last time. Only this time Cyrus dodged underneath it and ran towards him and Wrecker with his sword pointing downwards, the tip of the blade making sparks as it tore through the street.
"Mind if I cut in?" Cyrus grinned as he was suddenly right in front of Thunderball with a hellish glint in his eye. Thunderball couldn't attack as his ball was about a yard in front of him, so he couldn't stop Cyrus swung his blade upwards and sliced Thunderball across his face.
"AAAAAAAAAAGH! MY EYE!" Thunderball screamed as his left eye was sliced clean out by Cyrus' blade. The silver haired samurai smirked as he swiped his blade once again, slicing the tendon's in Thunderball's legs, forcing him to fall to his knees.
Cyrus' then growled as he axe kicked Thunderball into the ground with great and powerful force. The only member of the wrecking crew left standing was Wrecker who roared as he swung his crowbar downward. Cyrus then brought his katana up in defence and the two weapons collided in a hail of sparks.
Wrecker's crowbar would have been sliced clean in half if it hadn't been made of Uru metal, the same material of Thor's hammer. Wrecker grimaced as Cyrus was as strong as the thunder god himself, Cyrus however was grinning like a maniac and began chuckling as Wrecker was the only one he hadn't sliced open yet.
"Not so tough now that your men are bleeding and crying like children, are you?" Cyrus chuckled
"Who the hell are you?" Wrecker grunted
"Your worst nightmare" Cyrus grinned as he kicked Wrecker in his knee sending him down to one knee where he swung his word and cut off Wrecker's right hand.
"AAAAAAAAGH!" Wrecker screamed before Cyrus grabbed his stub before swinging his sword again to slice off his other hand, in a spray of red liquid, the Wrecker no longer had any hands as Cyrus sliced both of them clean off.
"Grovel, that's the only thing you are good at" Cyrus growled as he pushed him to the ground, blood oozing out of the stumps of what used to be his hands.
"Why….w-won't you just kill me?" Wrecker whimpered in pain
"I have better things to do than kill you, consider this a way of sending a message to the people of this world" Cyrus smiled as his visor retracted showing his wide grin.
"A message not to fuck with me" Cyrus grinned as he began cackling manically as he swung his sword, the blood on his blade splattering onto the floor leaving his blade clean as a whistle.
"Thanks for the workout by the way….I haven't had that much fun in ages" Cyrus grinned as he sheathed his sword in a samurai style.
Cyrus then crouched down before shooting into the sky at a rapid pace, leaving the four members of the Wrecking crew to bleed on the street in pain.
Ok everybody, I think I have set the standard that Cyrus is not to be messed with. Almost makes you feel sorry for the wrecking crew (almost).
Next chapter will also feature the rest of Peter and Carol's date and something I am sure many of you SpiderMarvel fans will like.
So let me know what you guy thought, what did you like? What didn't you like etc
And now for my speciality
Cyrus: don't you think that is getting a little old by now?
….Cyrus…wha….what?
Cyrus: it isn't that hard you know, Deadpool pointed the way into the authors notes
….remind me to cut something of his off
Cyrus: No need, already done *unsettling grin*
…please stop doing that
Cyrus: You shouldn't have made it an aspect of my personality then
So do you have a question for the nice people?
Cyrus: why of course *grins* WHAT DO YOU THINK OF ME? HEHEHEHEHEHEHE, and you had better answer very carefully *draws katana*
….ok guys you heard the nice maniac
Let me know what you think and I'll see you guys next chapter *looks back at Cyrus, tinkering with his Katana* hopefully
