**********************
Lycans Den
The two Lycans who survived the Murciélagos onslaught exchanged a desperate glance. They knew, with a chilling certainty, that they were outmatched.
Their strength, their ferocity, wouldn't mean a thing against the chaos raging within the den. With a silent agreement, they turned and fled, their bodies fueled by a primal instinct for survival.
Marcus barreled towards Lucian, ignoring the Lycans as if they were mere insects. His focus was laser-sharp on eliminating the masked man, knowing it would pave the way to freeing his brother.
"I'll drain your blood before I rip you apart," Marcus growled, the words a chilling promise whispered through gritted teeth. He needed the masked man's memories, to find the key to his brother's cage, Marcus was convinced that the masked man had stolen it after he killed Viktor.
Lucian unfazed of Marcus strength just took a step towards the darkness as it covered his whole body before disappearing into the dark.
Lucian knew he couldn't defeat Marcus from speed and strength, as Marcus already recovered his strength and had become stronger from being a hybrid.
"Huh, So are you gonna hide like a coward now!" Marcus said with disdain but his senses were fully heightened he became much more serious knowing that the fox was difficult to deal with.
Marcus kept looking around but he couldn't see anything so he focused on his hearing but it was the same, nothing he didn't hear any heart beat and even a breathing he couldn't feel the fox presence.
But it was normal with Ozunu clan technique and with the ability to control the darkness Lucian became the perfect ninja he was meant to be, even supernatural creatures would have a hard time finding where Lucian is if he didn't want to be found.
Marcus kept looking around, he knew the fox wouldn't leave until he was dead then he felt something moving above him, and he saw the guns of all the Lycans guns floating above him aiming at him.
Marcus just retracted back his wings looking at the guns with narrowed eyes as it started to fire.
*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*
*Ra-ta-ta-tat* *Ra-ta-ta-tat*
The firing guns were the only light source in the den, as the guns continued to fire destroying the floor but the bullets could never hit Marcus.
Marcus dodged with the bullets with ease as the gun shots stopped, "IS THAT ALL YOU GOT!" Marcus shouted in disdain while trying to enrage the fox to show his location.
Lucian in the darkness, didn't even bother answering although he was stopped assassinating in the past two years, he knew that patience is sometimes the key for a successful hunt.
'But this won't work,' Lucian knew that waiting and hiding wasn't going to work with Marcus who got both strength and speed and with his slight immunity to sunlight, even if the bullets hit Marcus it wouldn't do much damage only slowed his healing not killing him completely.
'Are you sure?' Cortana asked in his mind while looking at him, she knew what Lucian's plan was, although she wanted to kill Marcus, she didn't want Lucian to put himself in danger.
'yeah, this is the only way to kill him if I want to.' Lucian said his eyes flashed with a cruel glint before stepping out of the darkness appearing behind Marcus waving his energy blade sideways.
Marcus disappeared In front of Lucian, appearing beside Lucian's side.
"You're here," Marcus whispered with a cruel grin on his lips waving his one claw towards Lucian.
Even with his fox and elf physique and his training from the Ozunu clan Lucian could barely react from Marcus speed, he didn't bother to dodge, using his umbrakinesis Lucian shadow move like it was alive rising converging into one like a wall that protected his side blocking Marcus claw.
Marcus, although surprised by how much abilities that the fox has, he focused on his goal as he disappeared appearing in front of Lucian again, kicking him and sending him hitting the wall.
Lucian dropped the energy blade handle as it turned off, while he felt the strong impact to the wall, as he gritted his teeth while he saw Marcus already in front of him waving his claw towards his neck.
Lucian used his both hands to stop Marcus claw, as he looked at Marcus black eyes.
"You're fast I'll give you that, but it's a pity I've changed," Marcus said with a growl, as one of the tips of his wings appeared as it stab towards Lucian aiming towards Lucian's chest.
Lucian didn't dodge, as he just let his right hand let go of Marcus claw opening his palm, using his psychic abilities to change Marcus wing tips direction as it impaled into his shoulder.
"Argh," Lucian let out a muffled moan, before holding back Marcus claw with both hands again, as felt its force becoming stronger.
"Oh amazing, but how about another one," Marcus was surprised that the fox can still fight, before another one of the tips of his wings appeared stabbing towards the fox waist.
"Mmnnh," Lucian felt the tip of Marcus's left wing impale his inside. He gritted his teeth, forcing down the pain. Every ounce of his strength was channeled into his hands, keeping Marcus's claw from moving.
"You were a hunter," Marcus spat, disdain lacing his voice, "but now you're nothing more than a dish ready to be served." If he and Viktor had been at full strength, Marcus imagined, he wouldn't have lost an arm, Viktor wouldn't have died, but now he would have his revenge.
Marcus then walked closer to Lucian opening his mouth as he was to drain fox's blood thinking that fox couldn't do anything anymore, as he had observed that the fox was using telekinesis power with hands and now both the fox's hands was occupied on stopping his claw.
Marcus opened his mouth as his fangs began to appear turn towards the fox's neck just as he was about to bite his head couldn't move. 'How,' Marcus thought as he could feel the fox didn't let go of his claw.
"What if I wanted to be here," Lucian whispered, as Lucian was the one able to see that behind Marcus was Cortana that used Lucian's psychic powers with both her hands aimed at Marcus stopping him.
Before Marcus could react, Lucian's left hand released its hold on the claw. With blinding speed, it clamped onto Marcus's jaw, a blazing inferno of fox fire erupting from his palm.
Marcus head was covered by silver fire as he tried to back away from Lucian taking away his claw back and stepping back. But then he felt the tip of the wings stuck and couldn't move.
Lucian looked at Marcus whose head was covered with fox as he held the two tips of Marcus wings on his shoulder and waist with his hands.
"Wraahh!" Marcus shouted in pain as he struggled to put out the fox fire from his head, as tried to pull the tip of the wings.
While the M6D pistol on Lucian's waist flew out before shooting towards Marcus hitting him on the chest.
*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*
It continued firing as it clicked emptying its bullets, destroying Marcus chest that's now filled with bloody holes even if Marcus had strong regeneration he couldn't heal fast from bullets holes with UV liquid.
But it wasn't finished as the fallen energy blade handle on the ground flew up towards Lucian as it turned on cutting off the tips of Marcus wings, before it turned off again falling to Lucian's right hand who pulled out the tips of Marcus wings on his shoulder.
Marcus fell back to the ground not caring about his wings and bloody chest as he rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the fox fire that burned on his head, the pain making him writhe in agony.
Lucian observed Marcus with cold eyes while fox fire appeared on his left palm as he pointed it towards the fallen tips of Marcus wings with his blood as the fox fire burned it completely including the walls and floor where Lucian's blood is leaving only scorched traces.
Lucian strode towards Marcus, intent on ending the fight before Marcus could recover. His hand, a silver fire extended towards the fallen hybrid vampire. Fox fire, searing and potent, surged from his palm, aiming to consume Marcus completely to burn him alive.
But Marcus, driven by a primal instinct to survive, had anticipated the attack. He rolled away from the inferno, a scorched and battered figure. He rose, a defiant silhouette against the smoky gloom, his head scorched and smoking.
The UV liquid, still coursing through his veins, hampered his regeneration, leaving his chest slowly healing, a patchwork of scarred tissue.
"RRAAAHH!" Marcus screeched in Anger and fury while he looked at the fox slightly afraid as he had almost died, Now he knew he couldn't defeat the fox from closed ranged, no he was sure he couldn't defeat the fox if he wasn't determined to die.
Marcus then used all his strength, to end the fight.
As Marcus ran towards the exit of the Lycan's den wanting to escape, although Marcus wanted to kill the fox he wasn't planning on dying, not until he had freed his brother.
"Now," Lucian said while pressing the side of his mask as he continued to walk calmly towards Marcus.
And with Lucian's signal, a gunshot fired from outside the exit of the den, hitting Marcus who was rushing out the exit in surprise.
*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*
The bullets hit Marcus on the chest and shoulder as he stumbled back slightly before rushing out again not caring about his injuries.
When Marcus got out from the exit a claw shot out front the side aiming towards his face, Instinctively, Marcus caught the limb, his grip tight. He yanked the attacker's arm, hurling Kim Yoo-ri against the wall.
But Marcus who was in a hurry didn't notice Raizo who was hiding from the other side hiding his presence as Raizo use his katana slashing on Marcus knee, and with a swift strike and with Marcus going to the rushing towards it Marcus right leg was cutt off.
Marcus stumbled as he rolled on the ground losing his right leg while rushing out, before releasing a growl as his eyes became fierce before using his strength pushing himself off the floor launching towards the walls as his use his claw and left foot to scale the walls rushing to escape.
Seeing this Raizo stood up from the ground wanting to follow.
"No need to chase," Lucian said walking calmly from behind as he looked towards Kim Yoo-ri who was getting up.
Raizo sheathed his katana while turning towards Lucian although He followed Lucian words, he couldn't help but look questioningly as he wanted to kill Marcus who killed many innocent people on the station.
Lucian felt Raizo's gaze while he pulled up Kim Yoo-ri.
"He's too desperate to escape, I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to infect you with his virus and make you a hybrid like him to just stop us," Lucian said turning around to look at Raizo on the eyes as he fully knew how Raizo wanted to stay human.
"We're too late," Raizo said while releasing a sigh, 'that thing shouldn't have escaped,' he thought to himself blaming himself for being slow thinking if he and Kim Yoo-ri had supported Lucian faster they would've killed the bat.
"No need, we already know where he is going but we better be prepared by then," Lucian said thinking the possibility that Marcus would create more shrieking bat creatures.
"Are you injured?!" Kim Yoo-ri gasped, her eyes wide with shock as she noticed the wounds on Lucian's shoulder and waist. It was the first time she'd ever seen him hurt after a mission, and a wave of concern washed over her.
"It's fine," Lucian reassured her with a shake of his head.
"I'm already healing." His confidence stemmed from the potent combination of his kitsune healing abilities and his own enhanced regeneration, a power that surpassed even the most resilient of his kind.
Lucian then looked back at the den, where he could still hear a weak heart beat, before shaking his head.
"It's your luck if you survive," Lucian whispered knowing Michael was still alive, although he didn't plan on killing Michael he wasn't planning on helping him either.
"Let's go," Lucian declared, his voice regaining its usual authority.
"We still need to complete our real mission." Lucian said as he led Raizo and Kim Yoo-ri away from the den, while their steps echoing through the underground tunnels.
