An Alternate Universe: A Re-Telling of the SuperBeast Saga 5


Deep in the slums of Izuna, Mike had searched around for anyone from any level of Shadowlaw ranks. He finds a new recruit, bearing the emblem on his vest. Mike grabs him by the neck and holds him against a wall.

Mike: WHERE IS HE!?

Trooper: Who, man? Who!?

Mike: Your boss.

Trooper: I can help you, just don't kill me bro!

Mike tightens his grip.

Mike: WHERE!?

Trooper: My boss is in the apartment on 5th and Quincy! Ask for Birdie! Please!

Mike: Thank you.

With one twist of the wrist, Mike breaks the man's neck. Walking away he feels smoke eminating from his eyes. Fighting to hold his powers back, he walks toward the apartment, bumping into person after person. He reaches the door and punches it through. He finds Birdie's door, and kicks it in.

Birdie: An' just who the fuck are you, mate?

Mike: The guy that's gonna rip your head out through your asshole if you don't tell me where Bison is.

Birdie brandishes a switchblade.

Birdie: Come an' try it, battyboy.

Mike dashes with an Uppercut to Birdie's chin. Birdie angrily swipes at Mike's mid-section, barely missing. He swipes Mike's arm. A gash is created, blood pouring like water from a fountain. Mike focuses his power as Birdie laughs. Mike grunts and holds his arm out. It slowly regenerates, sparingly using his powers. Birdie screams in horror.

Birdie: What the 'ell are you!?

Mike: Angry.

Mike twists Birdie's hand to lose the knife and stabs him in the thigh, causing Birdie to collapse like a building, trying to inch the knife out. Mike stomps his leg.

Mike: BISON! NOW!!!

Birdie: Okay, okay! Keep your pants on! He's outside of town! The base is out there!

Hearing the fighting, someone else walked in. Seeing Mike, he dashes toward him and connects with a right hook to the back of the head. Mike spins around, shocked at who he sees.

Mike: Wow...still Bison's little grunt. Figured you would've learned.

Balrog: Yeah? Well at least my bitch isn't a sidewalk pancake, so try and get through me if ya want Bison!

Mike, blindly enraged, attacks Balrog, blocking every shot, headbutts Mike. He drops to one knee and punches Balrog in the crotch. Getting him to his knees as well, Mike hops up to his feet, backs up and thrusts his foot into Balrog's face, breaking his neck and killing him instantly. He walks out and steal's Balrog's car, a blue Ford Explorer and rides it out to the outskirts of town.

Mike: I'm coming, you son of a bitch. I'm coming.

Mike's hands begin to bubble up and steam. With every ounce of focus he holds back the SuperBeast monster, for its use will surely mean death in his weakened state. Revenge was a dish served cold, and it was something Mike made sure it was delivered.
