A score to settle.

Ace walked through the streets of New York, wondering what to do with himself. He scoffed with his usual wicked grin as the cattle of the human race walked by him. He Bumped against on and stared it in the eye with more malice than a human should rightfully have. The bag of meat apologized and went on his way. He could taste the fear coming from the worm like a sweet wine on his lips. It was a bit funny to him, seeing as the rodents of this city are a rude and outspoken bunch. For one to apologize for being bumped into was hilarious. Ace made his way to a familiar part of the city, a slum of the old days, back when he was a fierce but weak simple human. He put a hand up to his eye missing eye, tracing his finger around the edge of the patch covering it. The memory of his past stung like a knife in in the back of his head. “Time to meet old friends and settle a score.” He said to himself in a raspy malevolent voice. Ace grinned at the thought of tearing flesh as he pictured the man that took his eye and status. Walking into the old territory of his old gang, Ace saw a group of thugs harassing a middle aged man. Ace made his way over to the group of walking corpses with a slight grin on his face. One of the three thugs looked up at him as he approached and motioned his head at him to the others. Biggest of the three looked up and grunted, “What do you want? You next?” Ace smiled and nodded, “suppose so you little monkey.” The three men looked at each other and laughed a bit. Ace looked down at the ground as the men pushed down their victim and walked towards their new “prey”. The Biggest of the men seemed to be the leader of the small group, he took the lead and got in Ace’s face. “What, exactly did you call me you one eyed freak?” The fowl breathed oaf said. “A monkey.” Replied Ace as he pressed his forehead against the simple brute’s head. There it was again, it was smaller this time, but still there. The sweet aroma of fear, as though the man could on a primal level feels the threat of the thing Ace was. The two other men now stood on either side of ace, trying to block him in. The brute grabbed Ace by his coat and raised him up, it seemed as though Ace wasn’t the only one with a “gift”, this just made him smile a bit as he looked at his feet off the ground and then to the Oaf’s eyes. The Big man seemed to be confused by the lack of fear in his “victim”. Ace looked the man in his eyes and spit into them, then showed a huge evil grin as the brute whipped the saliva from his face. “Wrong move little man” The man said as he cocked the arm holding Ace back. Ace found himself flying through the air, in midflight he shifted his form to that of his higher self. The feeling of changing was always pure ecstasy. Ace folded over himself as he came to the wall, his hands and feet made contact, as if landing on the ground. To Ace’s surprise and the surprise of his little foe’s, he stuck to the wall. The suit writhed and flowed on him and he chanced standing up, which was easy. Now standing on the wall and parallel to the ground he looked up with a demonic sharp needle tooth gaping grin. The men were startled and started to back away at the sight of the scarlet being. Revel walked along the side of the wall, taunting the men as he licked his lips and made his way back to the floor, never taking his eyes off of the three men. Making his way back towards the scared men, Revel asked in a raspingly deep voice “Where is Demetrius?” The name of the man that took his eye was poison on his tongue, and the only antidote was the man’s death. The brute walked forward, seemingly unafraid despite the sweet smell of it oozing from his every pore. “What do you want with the boss you weirdo?” the big man said as he reached out for Revel. Making a small scythe out his hand he seemingly knocking away the man’s grip with high speed. The big man flinched a little and then looked at his arm confused. A red line appeared around his wrist, followed by A thud on the ground. Everyone but Revel was now looking on the ground, where the oaf’s hand lay.

At the sight of the hand on the floor, the two men reached for some kind of weapon in their coats, reacting without much thought, Revel lashed out with blunt tendrils. The force of the lashing knocked the guns out of the thug’s hands and into the air. Revel jumped forward with newly formed sharp scythe shaped blades putting on to the injured man’s throat and one on the smallest of the three lumps of flesh, pinning them to the wall.. “Where is he?” Revel growled as he brought his face between the two men. “WE DON”T KNOW! WE SWEAR! “. The third and middle weight of the three men started to run. Watching him Revel snapped back to the two that he had pinned. “What about him, does he know? Quick before I slip and your heads fall.” The smell of urine filled the air and the men whimpered. “Yeah, he’s our leader, He should know where the big boss is!” Smiling, Revel quickly turned away from the men and began to run in the direction of the supposed group leader. As he ran, behind him the men’s heads dropped to the floor, soon after, so too did their bodies. Revel chased the third man down an ally, eventually the man made it to his car and jumped inside. Forming harpoon shaped arms, Revel punctured the driver’s side car door, the man inside screamed in pain while the car jumped to life. Slamming on the gas, the car peels out and drags Revel with it for a block until he kicks off of the car. The street is a bit congested and the car weaves in and out of the traffic. Revel Roars at the car in rage and begins to run after it, to His surprise, he is able to somewhat keep up with the car. Revel’s legs pump away purpling him forward in a blur of scarlet. The world around him blurs as well. A huge smile comes across his face as he jumps and bounds over car and people alike. His target is getting close and saliva begins to fly from Revels mouth. The hunt always thrilled him, and the anticipation of gore fueled him. The old beat up car that houses the small bag of flesh that has his answers is now within reach. The car can’t go fast enough with all this traffic and Revel can dodge these cars with ease. Jumping forward with a push of hungry strength, Revel molds a hook out of his hand and impales it into the trunk of the car, pulling himself on top of it and climbing to the roof. The man seemed to notice and starts to weave back and forth more violently. Suddenly, the car screeches to a halt, throwing Revel three meters in front of the beaten up cat. Rolling, Revel pushes of the round and spins in midair landing in an animalistic crouch facing the car. His tongue lashes at the air as his mouth gapes in a wicked smile. Pushing off from his coiled crouch, Revel speeds towards the car as it starts to back up and whip around to head in the opposite direction it came from. As Revel approaches the car again it takes a sharp right turn on a one way street, heading the wrong way. Revel run’s towards a light post, grabbing it and whipping himself around and releasing into the same direction the car went. Now in a frenzy Revel jumps onto a building and starts to run on the face of it, jumping the gaps between buildings and from light pole to light pole at intersections. Finally catching up the car again, Revel Jumps onto it and brakes the rear window, then climbs in. “Your making your death last SO much longer this way little rat.” Revel whispers in the man’s ear. “Slow down and pull into an ally so we can have a little talk”. Revel puts a shard and ragged knife morphed hand up the man’s throat and puts enough pressure on it to draw a little bit of blood. The smell of it makes Revel fidget and spurs the Symbiote on. “Kill him, I want to see the blood flow! KILL HIM!” It says in his head. “No, I need to know where Demetrius is” ace says out loud. The man seems a bit confused and blurts out “OK ok ok, man. Just calm down and I’ll tell you.” Now pulling into the ally, Revel pushes the knife hand a bit harder on the man’s throat. “This is far enough” he says after getting deep into the ally. Climbing into the front seat he motions for the man to get out and Climbs over the driver side seat along with him.

Revel and the thug now stood face to face. Being a bit cautious Revel searches the man for any more weapons and finds none. Standing back he displays a bit of his power as he creates shard whip like tendrils that lash around towards the hoodlum and round himself. “You know what I can do to you right? The PAIN I can bring you? I can make it last ya know. Matter a fact, I would love it. I revel in the screams of you little piles of flesh and bone, so how ‘bout it? You can tell me the truth of where and now, or I can just have my fun with you and take a little bit more time to find him. I’m all ears son.” Revel could see the way the little man shook. He could see the fear of a painful death in the man’s eyes and taste the fear as though it was a sweet thick yogurt. Mmmmm, fear yogurt, that sounds delicious. The man began to speak, but it all came out like a sputter. Sighing, Revel un-sharpens his little toys and calms down the movement of the suit, also adjusts his mouth to where it seems somewhat normal. The fear is still thick, but not as much as it was. Revel watches as the man closes his eyes and tries to gain a bit of composure. Crossing his arms and putting on hand on his chin, Revel waits most impatiently. “I don’t have all day you worm, cough it up and be quick about it. There’s killing needs ta be done y’know.” Swallowing hard, the man finally speaks. “Demetrius is at the Landow Suite. He stays there and regulates most of the crime in the slums. He has some kind of weird power like you, only different. He can slam a man through walls and can lift a whole lot of weight. He is also really fast, like blur. Ever since he beat the last boss, he started taking over other gangs. We are all called legion now. If I knew more I would tell you, I swear. Please don’t kill me man, I got kid’s n’ sh&*.” Revel smirked and loked at the man. “No, I won’t kill you, you’ll will spread the word little rat. Tell everyone that Ace died, and I have become a demon. Tell them, Revel, is coming.” As he said this, Revel backed away laughing and then jumped, flipped backwards, and landed on the wall behind him. “I’m coming for you all” Turning around, Revel began to whistle as he walked up the building. The man collapsed and tried to catch his breath. After a long while he got back in his car and drove off to tell everyone what had just happened. Revel ran along the roof tops as he followed the man in his car. Revel followed the man all the way back to what seemed to be a small hide out.

Revel walked down the face of the building that was across from the hideout. It was a broken down factory and seemed to be fenced off. Walking up to the fence and put his hand on it. Pulling, he found the fence to come apart like a bunch of cob webs. “Nice” he said to himself. “There’s more where that came from little mortal” the sentient being we wore whispered in his mind. “I hope so” Revel snickered. Walking into the front door, a thug approached him and then stopped. It seemed the thug recognized Revel in some way. Revel’s suit whipped and writhed on him. Walking up to the weakling he slapped the thug with an upward motion on the bottom of his chin and sent him flying into the ceiling, and walked by as the man flailed his legs about. Revel began to laugh at the little movements of the man until it died down. As he continued, Revel was met by more men, each with different types of weapons, bats with nails in them, pipes, and knives. Revel felt a tingle in his wrists and felt a weird type of pressure forming on them. Smiling he let his instincts take over. He flung his hand out and a red sticky tendril flung out from his wrist across the room and wrapped around a man with a bat. Revel pulled it and swung the man about until he hit a wall. Then With his left hand, Revel shot out another tendril and grabbed a man with a gun drawn. It seemed the best choice at the time seeing as being shot was not in the day’s agenda. This man, he whipped towards him and then slung him back into two more thugs. As the others watched stunned, Revel jumped forward and landed on a thug with a pipe with his feet clawing into the thug’s chest. Jumping off he twisted in the air and shot tendrils at the wall he was moving away from, leaving another thug with a baseball bat in the middle, and pulled, shooting himself feet first at the man. Revel could feel bones break and hear screams come from the now destroyed heap of flesh. Revel stood up and the remaining men around him were quite hesitant on approaching him. There were stairs in the far corner of the room that he noticed now. Someone seemed to be walking down them now. A large man in all black with a lot of pricings Trotted down the stairs and though the group of remaining men, behind him was the one Revel spared from earlier. The little man he spared pointed at Revel saying “That’s him, he’s the freak that killed Tom and Al. Be careful” The Large brute scoffed and said in a deep booming voice “You little red scum. You dare challenge Legion? It’s time I crush you”. Revel smiled with his huge sharp mouth and licked his face, then let his tongue whip around. .

Revel stepped forward and out of nowhere he was sent flying into a wall. A bit dazed, he gathered himself and shook off his initial shock. The brute grinned and stepped forward. “what’s your name buuuuuddy?” Revel said in a playful tone of voice.” The man stopped, confused as to why this strange enemy would act so cheerful in a time of serious battle. “West, and yours, so I have a name to tell the boss?” West said hesitantly. “I, my dear friend am the joy of destruction and mayhem. I am the feeling you get when you crush the skull of a weakling. I am, REVEL!” As he said his name, Revel Thew his hands up and roared, sending his suit into a frenzy of sharp whipping tendrils. West stood back a bit and realized that this man is truly insane. “So, have at thee you big ugly funny eyed hippo.” As he said this West moved in a blur and slammed into Revel, flinging him through a wall, the rebar cut through his suit and into his flesh. Revel shook off his surprise again and looked at his ribs. The cut wasn’t too deep and the suit was part of him now. He could see little tendrils reach from inside his cut and pull his skin back together. As his skin met the tiny tendrils fused and made him good as new. Revel looked up as West stepped through the whole Revel left in the wall. Standing up now, Revel suit covered up his exposed skin before the huge brute could tell a difference. Walking towards the huge man, Revel could see the man brace for a second and then he was shot forward again, slamming Revel and sending him flying into another building. This was getting annoying now. Frustrated, Revel began to tear the building down from the inside, grabbing walls with his web like tendrils and pulling them down while roaring in a blood curdling tone. Outside the man felt strange, he felt something that he had not felt since he met Demetrius, fear. Revel jumped out of the rubble and at West who wasn’t really ready for such a reckless act. Bladed tendrils whipped around Revel as he descended upon West as he tried to use his power again. Revel landed and West was not there anymore. He did feel the tear of flesh, he could of swore he felt the tear of flesh. Seeing a blur out of the corner of his eye, Revel whipped around in turn with his slashing frenzied blades and felt a connection again. Roaring, Revel looked over and saw West with gashes in him panting. “I’m gonna wear your skin like a fur coat you piece of sewage!” Running at he man at high speed, He saw West brace again. Jumping up and twisting in the air, Revel saw the line of blur as the man missed him and shot his web at the end of the blurred line. Tugging, Revel shot towards the man at head first at high speed and with both his arms formed together as a spear trying to impale the man. The man made the same body movement quickly and dodged in a blur to his right. Revel Twisted and landed on his feet, slamming into the ground and leaving a small crater there. West slammed into Revel again, this time Revel was fast enough to grab him and connect to him with his red webbing. Sent flying again, Revel landed on the side of the building he had first entered and stood up. “GET OVER HERE!” He roared as he pulled with all his might on the web and flung the man towards himself. West couldn’t seem to dodge this time. It seemed as though his power could only work with his feet on the ground. “Speed head eh.” Revel thought to himself. The man was flying towards him quickly and the look on his face was priceless, so much fear and desperation. Ah, the sweet scent of fear was finally coming from this man. Revel began to laugh as he spun himself into a frenzy of whipping and slashing bladed tendrils. The man was torn to shreds as he smacked against the wall. Revel didn’t kill him though, no, This man was an example. He wrapped West up like a little bagel-dog you got at gas stations. This bagel-dog was covered in ketchup. Revel couldn’t help but to smile and burst into laughter at the thought of it. Revel held the man like a bag of garbage that he was taking out and made his way down the face of the wall, whistling an uppity tone. The thugs from inside began to crowd in the space between the hide out and the building next to it. As Revel made his way to the ground and was upright in the earth again, he tossed West over his shoulder. “Let this be a lesson to all you little ingrates. Anyone who goes against me gets this. Revel Held up the wrapped man, moaning the man lolled his head back and forth a bit in a daze. Revel looked at the man with joy, he lived this part of the fight. Tossing the man up a bit and creating a blade the size of his arm he cut the man in half, spraying blood everywhere. .

The men around Revel cowered in fear and dared not to move. “Now that I have your attention, where is Demetrius? I will kill each and every one of you if someone doesn’t tell me EXACTLY where he is. If you don’t feel like dying, then I you should be talking now.” Shifting his weight forward, Revel opens his mouth wide and cocks his head to the side, facing his ear towards the crowd. Silence was all he could hear. Shifting his weight back, he tilted his head a bit downward and looked at the crowd of thugs again. Slowly, he created another arm blade and started walking towards the group of thugs and low lives. A man ran forward and dropped to his knees. “I know, I know where he is. Please don’t hurt any more of us, I will show you.” Revel bent down and licked the man’s head with is tongue, the despair from this one was like a fine delicacy. Looking up at the rest, Revel said in a clam voice “Anymore want to help?” One more man walked up and fell to his knees. “I can help. I will do my best to get you in and tell you all I can.” Revel stood up and looked down on the two that had enough guts to kneel before him. Revel made a fist, leaving his index finger extended, “Hold still little ones, this will hurt” he said with pleasure. Grabbing the back of the first man’s head, he began to cut an X into the man’s forehead, right between the eyes. The man screamed as the claw etched into the man’s skull also. “You are now Cain, I will spare you” Revel whispered into the man’s ear. Making his way to the second man, Revel stared at the crowd with a sense of anticipation. They were fidgeting and whispering. Oh what joy they would hold in his heart. Grabbing the second man by the back of the head, Revel began to cut into the flesh in the man’s forehead, leaving the shape of a cross. “You will be Judas from here on”. He whispered in this man’s ear. Both men held their shirts to their head, trying to stop the bleeding. Revel left them and stepped to the crowd. Their eyes were full of fear and confusion, just the way he liked it. “You are all free.” He said with a wicked smile that monstrously spanned from one side of his head to the other. The group looked at each other and shrugged. They turned around and started to walk away. As they made their way away from the monster, he tilted his head a bit forward and to the right. His right arm seemed to become a giant sharp, flexible blade. Drawing it back behind him, Revel roared out “FREE TO DDDDIIIIIEEEEE ! ! ! !” This got the attention of all, just what he wanted. He wanted to see the horror in the eyes, the contorted faces as they drew in their last breath. Whipping forward and to the left, Revel sliced through the crowd, cutting them like so many blades of grass. All fell onto themselves, grabbing for anything in the throes of their last moments on Earth. It was pure art, pure ecstasy. He loved being him, loved being this monster. Running around he took away his monstrous and put what he considered to be the mask, his old regular human form. His clothes were the same as he liked. Putting his hand behind his back and rocking on his heels he leans forward a bit and says “shall we gents? I got some more of what’s behind me in store for your old ‘Boss’.” Ace’s grin resembled that of the suits. He realized this and stood up straight thinking. Looking at his arm the made a large blade that’s bas started on the outside of his forearm and continued out to about a meter to the tip. “Hm, that cool.” He said. Looking at the men on their knees, afraid to move, Ace moves forward in a sharp movement contorting his face to that of Revel and Roaring at the men. They shook and hid their faces. Calming his face and bringing it back to normal, Ace laughed hysterically. “Get up you two. I want to stir up some more mayhem before I deal with your old ‘Boss’.” .

Revel relaxed a bit in the back of the car as Cain drove to the next hideout. He looked out the window, watching the little oblivious bags of blood went about their meager lives. Oh how he wanted to make beautiful scarlet art out of them all. The car was a smooth ride that was too peaceful, he loved chaos after all. This ride made him a bit uncomfortable. It ended soon enough as he reached a warehouse on edge of the city, overlooking the water. “Here’s a hideout boss” said his first minion Cain. Ace patted the man on his shoulder and watched him flinch. Smiling he said “Good work Cain, let’s go inside and say hi.” The car pulled up to the entrance of the large warehouse and came to a soft stop. Cain seemed to be a great driver; Ace didn’t even really fell the car stop. Judas stepped out of the car and opened the door for ace. Ace slid out of the car with a bit of grace and felt the anticipation of the fun that lay inside this base. More lambs for the slaughter, this was the best life. As ace looked again at the entrance there seemed to be a guard pf some sort standing outside of the door smoking. Ace strolled up to the door and the man stood up from his folding chair and flicked his cigarette. “This a new recruit er something fellas?” he said to the two men at Ace’s side. It seemed he knew them. “Scrawny and missin an eye? What the hell do we need him for?” The guard asked. Ace smirked and grabbed the man by the thoat, hoisting him up off the ground. “You like to fly little man?” Ace said in a sly voice with his mouth cocked a bit to the side. “Corse you do, just too bad you won’t fly for long.” As he said the, Ace threw the man up into the air behind him like a piece of trash. The guard flew up high screaming. Ace grabbed the handle of the door and waited for a second, the scram ended in a thudding splat and Ace smiled but didn’t look back. As Ace opened the door he saw a group of men at a table playing cards. Not recognizing the new face they stood up and grabbed some weapons that were sitting by them, mostly baseball bats. What’s with this obsession with blunt objects these people had? The walked over making sure to keep some space between them and Ace. “What do you want you one eyed piece of trash?” one of the men asked. “You know, You insides would look better on the out” Ace said as he folded his arms and put a finger to his lips. The men looked at each other and grinned. “You must be out of you mind man.”, said the man that spoke earlier as they walked towards Ace. “Yes, yes I am” Ace said as his mouth seemed to grow inhumanly wide in an evil grin. The first man came forward swinging his wooden bat in a downward chopping motion. It seemed to come at Ace in slow motion. He couldn’t help but to giggle a bit as he raised up his arm to cut it in half with a sharpened forearm blade, but to his surprise a buckler type shield was formed instead. The bat collided with the small scarlet shield and exploded into splinters. Ace looked at his shield and smiled. “Yet another surprise.” He said. “I told you” said the other mind that dwelled in his. “ Yes you did my friend” Ace laughed. The men seemed to be thoroughly confused and all came at him now with their bats. Ace put his forearms together long ways and crated a shield as big as he can, it covered his whole front and blocked all the blows. They stopped and ace looked back at his minions. “ Wait outside, I’m sure you don’t want to see this” Cain smiled and shook his head while Judas walked out the door. Ace looked back at his prey and smiled, he continued to make works of twisted bloody art out of all of them and everyone in the building, reveling every last second.

Ace walked out of the warehouse covered in blood, behind him followed Cain. Judas looked at them and shook his head a bit. Ace walked over to the water’s edge and slipped inside, cleaning the blood off of himself. Cain came up with a towel he pulled out of the trunk while Ace was washing. Ace nodded and took the towel, drying himself off. “That was beautiful boss, none of them even stood a chance” Cain said with wonder. Ace patted the man on the shoulder and smiled, “It was fun” he said. They all got in the car and drove on. Driving though the city was boring. It seemed to take forever to get to the next hideout, Ace’s blood lust was insatiable. Ace looked out the window and all he saw was a car coming right at him, it slammed into his car and sent everyone spinning. As they stopped he could see his two minions dazed. He opened the door and walked around pulling them out and jumping a safe distance away, then laid them on the ground. Turning around he saw a man get out of the car that slammed his and start walking towards him. “It seems as though I’m getting Demetrius’s attention” he said to himself. The man approaching was about the same size as Ace and had a smile on his face. A fellow killer it seemed. The man had nof fear about him, but Revel would change that soon enough. This man seemed weak though, his body was frail looking and he was pale. “Hey, Powder! What’s the Idea with smashing up my ride huh? I liked that car ya know.” The man grinned and looked at the car. “Oh, you mean that one?” Powder said as Ace’s wrecked car began to glow with a faint blue aura. Suddenly the car flew at Ace, but ace umped up in time to dodge it. Feeling some fun coming on, Revel turned to his true form and landed crouching on the ground, looking up at the pasty man. “Nice trick, guess you wanna have some fun right?” Revel said as his suit flowed with tendrils around him. Suddenly a trash can hit him on his back and sent him sprawling and twisting to catch his footing. Revel slung a web at a nearby building and zipped to it, landing in an upright stance as he dodged a mailbox. Keeping his eyes on the man was hard when he was constantly trying to dodge flying objects. Revel dodged two more trash cans and a tire, folding his body backwards and flipping around on the wall. This was getting annoying and tiresome. Revel jumped to the ground and again twisting in midair as he dodged a flying pedestrian. He watched as the bag of meat slammed and splattered against the wall. “Niiiiice” Reavel said to the pale man. The man shrugged and smiled as a trashcan hit Revel in his back. Revel went to fling a web at the man to tie him up but was surprised again by his abilities as a ball of webbing shot out at the man and hit him in the body, knocking the wind out of him. The ball of webbing was the size of a golf ball and flew it around the same speed as a baseball thrown by a MLB pitcher. Revel laughed as the man regained his composure and seemed to look quite angry. Again, Revel shot a bullet of his scarlet webbing at the man, this time aimed at the face, and hit. The webbing covered the man’s eyes and blinded him. Revel walked up to the man and grabbed him but the throat. It was fun Powder, but I think I’m done playing. Revel grabbed the man’s thigh with his free hand and began to pull. The frail man ripped apart as easy as a burrito, but this burrito screamed and his favorite red sticky fluid spayed about the street.

Revel reverted back to his one eyed human state and walked over to the now stable minions. They walked a ways until they came to an abandoned factory. Ace decided at the sight of the place and told the men “Home sweet home fellas.” The men nodded and they all walked inside. Here Ace decided to send the minions to search and find their way about the place. I was their new home after all. Ace explored separately. After a while he decided to change his mind and jumped, flipping and landing on the ceiling, then made his way in the direction of his little toys. He wanted to see what they would talk about. Making sure to stay in the shadows of this place he began to feel a bit of a tingle on his skin. He raised his hand to his face, but it wasn’t there. He waved it back and forth and could only really see a blurry outline of his hand. Looking down at his body he noticed that his whole body was like this, a see through mirage. “Cool as hell!” he said to himself. “You never seem to amaze. What should I call you by the way?” He said to his other self. “Call me…… Croatoan” was all it replied with. Ace nodded and continued to walk on the ceiling, looking for his subjects. In a room of windows is where he found the men, standing and talking. “I personally love the thing. I’ve never seen anything kill so absolutely. He doesn’t care, he just slaughters!” said Cain. Judas looked at him judgingly and said “Yeah, you always had a sick twisted side man. That guy scares the crap out of me. The old boss was scary, but this guy as something out of a pure nightmare. I ain’t about to go against him in any way. God knows what he can do, every time it’s something new that seems to come to him like second nature. Dude is a god damn freak. I’d rather piss on the old bosses face then have to deal with anything this guy has in store for me if I double cross him.” “Yeah, true as that may be, I still love the guy. He’s like Michelangelo with destruction. Wou should have been in that warehouse man, It was amazing.” Cain said with a smile. “I’d like to see what he does with Old Boss. I bet anything he rips the ugly bastard limb from limb and beats him with his own legs.” Cain said as he began to laugh. Judas shook his head as he said, “That’s messed up bro, but true.” Revel emerged from the shadows and the men turned around confused. All they herd were footsteps. Revel only reviled his wide smile and his eyes, like the Chasire cat from Alice In Wonderland. The men jumped at the sight. Ace became visible as he walked towards the men. They looked at each other a swallowed hard. “Yeah, I was there the whole time. No don’t worry, I won’t kill you for what you said. In fact I liked it.” Walking up to Cain he put a thumb on the man’s marked forehead. The man winced in pain. “I really like you Cain, you a man of my own heart.” Repeating the act on Judas he said “You keep that fear in your heart m’boy, it will keep you alive as long as I see your needed.”

The men led Ace to the Barlow Suit, where the man that took Ace’s eye lived. Ace could feel a knot well up in his stomach as his hatred for the man filled him. They were greeted by two lumbering giants of men at the door. They seemed to not want the three of them in the building. With a stern look on his face Ace whipped his right arm upwards and his left downwards in a blur of movement; slicing both the men I half down the middle. They fell and separated once they hit the ground. Ace then turned invisible and walked behind Cain. “Make your way up to his room.” He told Cain. Looking over at Judas, the both nodded and began to walk inside. At the reception table the woman asked what they were here for. “We’re her to talk to Demetrius. We have information on who has been killing his men. We know where his is.” Judas said to the woman, Cain nodded his agreement as the woman stood up wide eyed. “One moment please gentlemen” she slender good looking blond woman said. She picked up the phone and repeated what Judas had said. “Yes sir, I’ll send them right up” she said. “Go ahead and take the elevator, press the button with the triangle surrounded by a circle.” “Thanks” said Cain as they walked towards the elevator. Standing inside they saw a camera, then looked for the button they were told to press, It was above all the rest. Cain pushed the special button and the doors closed. The elevator rose and rose, it felt like forever before they reached the top. Once the doors opened, they were greeted by two big men in all white suits. Each one searched the men for any kind of weapons and let them pass once toughly checked. Ace made sure not to walk to fast, as the blur would give him away for sure, he also made sure to step in sync with Cain and not bump into anything. They made their way through three rooms before they arrived at Demetrius’s office. The large long white haired man sat at his desk with elbows in the desk, finger woven into a double fist in front of his mouth. “So, you two have some good news for me?” Demetri said in his deep smooth voice. Revel stepped back, standing between the two guard and lashed both of his arms out, decapitating the two men with his sharp elongated fingers. He smiled his huge inhuman evil smile as he saw Demetrius stand up surprised. “Who the hell are you and why are you ruining my business! I’ve lost a lot of clientele because of your little antics!” The man boomed. Revel walked forward and revealed only his face. “You know why Demetri. You know damn well.” Demetri began to laugh in his deep hollow boom. “You still mad about the eye?! That was ages ago you psycho!” Revel smiled “Be that as it may, I’m still here to kill you. The eye was only part of my reason. I just plain don’t like you, Lumpy.” Revel pounced at the man and was surprised when he was caught in midair and slammed onto the desk. The huge man yelled in his face “You think you’re the only freak around here? Well, think again you little ant!” the hulk of a man started slamming Revel all over the room. Each blow knocked the wind out of him and dazed him. This was turning out to be harder than he thought. In a panic Revel went into frenzy, flailing and slashing at the man. Demetri grunted at the cuts but didn’t seem to mind them much. Finally Revel wanted to be let go so badly that he started Screaming and suddenly spikes shot forth from all over his body, piercing the man’s and become stuck to it. Demetri yelp out and opened his hand, but Revel was still stuck to it. Demetri Cocked Revel back and then threw him at the wall, sending him crashing through it. Revel, bruised and a bit hurt stood up and allowed his suit to fix him ups some. He looked up and saw Demetrious walk through the whole in the wall. Looking at his hand, Revel saw the holes left by his Revers Iron maiden like move close, along with the cuts on his arm and face. “Man did you choose the wrong guy to F&^k with Ace. I beat you little @%% back in the day, and I’m about to do it again, nostalgia much?” Revel crouched a bit and smiled and retorted with “No mate, things change. I’m a demon now, and you’re nothing but minced meat waiting to happen.”

“Let’s see about that, eh” said Demetri as he came forward. Revel shot a web bullet at the man’s face and the charged him with whipping razor sharp tendrils. The webbing struck to the mammoth of a man’s face and blinded him, but only for a moment. Demetri quickly ripped it off and back handed the charging madness. Revel slammed was sent flying at a wall, but twisted and landed on it instead, then shot a web at the man’s face. The man’s head jerked back a bit and he caught the webbing, then yanked t and whipped Revel towards him. Revel flew at the man but crated a large blade out of his right arm. Demetri ducked down and upper-cuted Revel into the ceiling, then let him fall to the ground. Revel pushed himself away from the man with only his arms as was almost stomped on. Revel cam at the man again and dodged a back hand, ducking and then coming up with slash to the man’s face. It split open a blood splashed onto the ceiling. Demetrius’s face quickly healed and Revel was promptly head-butted to the floor. To the man’s surprise, instead of cracking Ace’s skull, he had shattered a shield and the blow slammed Revel to the floor mostly unharmed. Revel grabbed the man’s leg with both hands and began to slam the man around the room as he was slammed. Demetri laughed as he hit the walls and furniture. Sick of being taunted, Revel swung and threw the man at another wall. Demetri went flying and took down the wall. Revel stood there breathing a bit hard and wait as the man walked through the new hole they created. “I haven’t had this much fun in a long time old friend?” Demetri said as he spit out some blood. Revel, now having his breath caught, smiled and retorted,” I’m already...” then was facing a flying couch. Revel brought both arms up with a double blade and cut it in half. Behind the couch cam a blindingly painful punch from Demetri. Revel flew and hit a wall, coughing up a bit of his own blood. Demetri walked over to the slumped Revel and picked him up by the throat. “You could never wi against me you little worm” he said as he pulled Revel to his face. “put me in him, I can help” said Croatoan in Revel’s head. The being hadn’t let him down so far and Revel was sure it knew what it was talking about. Revel looked at the man and said “Open wide” Demetri looked at him confused and opened his mouth to say “What?”, but was met with a mouth full of web bullet. Demetri gaged and then coughed as the thing made its way into the man’s stomach. Demetri stumble backwards and let go of Revel. Demetrius coughed and coughed, stumbling around the room grabbing at everything. Revel’s two minions back way from the whole fight, not wanting to get caught in a struggle between these titans. Revel stepped forward and approached the dazed man. “Seems like my little friend doesn’t like you either.” Revel laughed. The man swung at him and missed. Revel rewarded this outburst by crouching and then jumping up with all his might as he cut though the man’s arm whit his own bladed one. The arm, from shoulder down, landed on the floor with a bloodied thump. Demetrius screamed, grabbing Revel with his only arm and slamming him to the ground with all the strength he had. Revel yelled out as he felt ribs break. Demetri stood beside Revel and Roared as he kicked him and sent him flying out of the window. Revel flew through the air for a bit before beginning his decent down to the ground. Revel fell and felt helpless for the first time since he was in that mental institute. It felt as though he was falling forever, his revenge denied felt worse than the idea of becoming a red splatter of fine art on the street below. His breath was taken away as he fell, feeling a bit a peace, then he felt pure beautiful rage build.

“I lived to long to die with you. You little piece of trash, I have to do everything!” Croatoan Yelled in his head. Suddenly, Revel felt a tugging on his back. To his surprise, Revel’s decent began to slow. He stoped falling altogether and started to glide. He flipped, now facing downward and seeing people and cars blur under him. His speed was hard to handle at first, but after a few minutes he was ok with it. Revel felt weak, but strong enough to make it to his hide out he had. Revel crashed through the windows of his building he used as a place to get away from everything. He laid on the floor and didn’t move, he was in too much pain to even lift a finger. Darkness covered Revel’s mind.

“Boss. Boss! It’s Cain boss. Revel wake up. Are you ok boss?” Ace opened his eyes to see a beaten, bruised and cut up Cain and Judas above him. Ace sat up and rubbed his eyes, then yawned, opening his mouth to its limits and scaring the two minions a bit. “How long have I been out fellas?” Judas replied, saying “About two days boss. You feel ok? You took quite a beating back there. Good thing Demetrius passed out when you cut his arm off. He grew it back, but it gave us a way out of the building.” Ace stood up and rubbed his head. “Seems as though I need a bit more practice right guys?” Cain and Judas looked at each other, then at Ace and shrugged. “Yeah” said Ace and then he sat down. “You bet your sweet grandmother first pair of panties I’m gonna kill that bastard. I’m gonna level this whole city one day.” Ace felt his stomach grumble and looked up at the two. “You guys got any food? I’m hungry as hell. Some raw steak sound AMAZING right now.” The two gave Ace the same look, a bit confused and amused. “Guess we shouldn’t have expected you to ask for a vegie burger after all, right?” said Judas. Ace flung out a web around Judas’s ned and pulled him close. “Was that a joke Judas? Are you making fun of me? Amd I a big joke to you, or do you just really want to die right now?” The blood ran from Judas’s face and fear filled his eyes. He held up his hands and started to stutter. “Nah, I’m just F^@*(%! With you man” Ace laughed as he let go of the man who almost wet himself. “Ok ingrates, let’s go get sum grub. I feel like messin’ with the folks down at the super mega market. I bet the old ladies would get a kick outta seein’ my real face”
