41 Chapter 41 Scout Vs The Lizard Vs ?
Down in the streets of New York chaos ran rampant with horrendous scenes appearing throughout the block. Shredded vehicles and broken glass were common but property damage was the last worry in the mind of people.
Why would it be? When there were corpses everywhere women, men, old, and young it didn't matter.
Under such circumstances, people left behind all their belongings carrying only their loved ones. While the police remained behind to hold back the one responsible.
A creature straight out of a nightmare…. Fifteen feet tall with scales that could resist all their ammunition. The beast even had enough strength to lift trucks right off the ground like a child picking up a toy.
The officers were way out of their league here and were losing more and more as the moments passed. They had tried every method possible from snipers and tear gas but nothing seemed to hold it back.
However, despite all this, the officers remained steadfast firing at the beast trying to buy as much time as possible.
One officer, in particular, was in the midst of shooting the thing when it suddenly jumped in front of him as it readied its arm to slash down and end his life.
At this moment Officer Wazowski couldn't help but freeze in fear as he looked up at the towering creature. While it looked down on him like a lesser species.
'Is this how it ends? Dead to an overgrown lizard, not the way I thought I'd go' he thought as he let go of his gun whilst losing hope.
The beast looking down at the terrified man relished in its feelings of superiority as it swung down when suddenly a motorcycle appeared flying over the vehicles!
RRRRRRRRR
The sound of a revving engine echoed in the street when the lizard's face was suddenly hit head-on.
ARRGGGGGHHHHRAAAHH!
The Lizard gripped its eye as it screamed out in pain. With a clear tire mark left behind as proof of what just occurred.
Enraged by this it began frantically searching for the one who dared to aim for its vision, going as far as losing complete interest in the human in front of it.
When it finally found the culprit it wasn't like the rest. A tin man with rabbit-like ears carrying an AR in each hand. With a destroyed bike by its side.
[You are under arrest You have the right to remain silent anything can and-]
The machine's words enraged the Lizard even more as it didn't even give it the chance to finish its words as he charged forward.
The scout quickly began evasive maneuvers running and jumping over vehicles with the Lizard hot on its tail.
It had been given a mission by the New York Police Department to draw the beast as far as possible from the populace. Before attempting to apprehend it and that's exactly what it would do.
This chase soon became a game of cat and mouse with the scout dodging attacks by using the vehicles as cover. Things however took a sudden turn when this game got old.
"COME HEREEE!"
The lizard annoyed by all this running began tossing vehicles at the scout that did its best to dodge. Thankfully the scout seemed to have accomplished its mission with citizens no longer in sight. As it changed its objective.
[Assailant has refused compliance. Deadly Force Authorized]
No longer running, the scout began charging at the beast instead. As it would dive every so often to dodge flying pieces of debris. Until it eventually had the perfect shot.
With both arms lifted holding two ARs it unloaded onto the lizard's face aiming right for his eyes.
In pain, the beast quickly lifted its hands to block as it swiped its arm launching the scout down the road causing it to crash into a far-off vehicle.
[Error multiple malfunctions detected!]
One toss was enough to leave it quite battered but wasn't enough to keep it down. With some effort, the scout slowly pushed its body out of the car before re-aiming to continue the fight.
"Raaaah I'm going to destroy you!!"
The lizard began another charge however this time it had its eyes covered while running blind.
With its vision covered, the scout dove away from him and instead focused on the tanks from nearby vehicles causing explosions. Launching the lizard away with even an arm being ripped off in the process.
After the multiple explosions, the lizard seemed to have regained some clarity as he looked at the new stump on his arm.
"No I just want to be healed but you took it from me!" Getting back up Connors lost himself again, no longer noticing the arm regrowing as he picked up a car and threw it.
The scout wasn't so lucky this time in its dodge with an arm being ripped off in return. Which ended up being of no consequence for this machine that felt no pain as it aimed at more vehicles.
BOOM BOOM BOOM
Fire and smoke quickly filled the Scout's vision as it waited patiently for movement when a piece of concrete suddenly appeared head-on too fast to dodge. Launching the robot back as it was unable to stand.
The Lizard stood up with multiple wounds that were healing with a grin as it slowly began walking to the machine intent on ending this fight once and for all.
Picking it up the Lizard slowly tightened its grip when it suddenly couldn't see.
Tossing the scout it began scratching at its eyes but struggled to rip the substance until it finally succeeded. In its hands were white strings that had a strange sticky feeling that wouldn't let go.
In this sense of confusion, its instincts suddenly flared as it turned too slow and was punched hard enough to launch it into the air by some human in cheap goofed clothes.
[POV Switch Spider-Man]
"Hey hey you're making a mess of the streets don't you think it's bad enough already?" I commented while trying to lighten the mood but in truth, I was really nervous.
Just what was this thing and what's up with the robot? A question for later. I thought as the hulking beast got back up like it was nothing looking brand new.
"Another Bug!"
"Hey it's arachnid buddy get it right"
My comment didn't seem to go over so well with the Dino but oh well someone's bound to like my humor eventually.
my joke didn't last long when suddenly I began to get a tingle on my skin.
Oh no DODGE!
With quick and agile movements I began gliding past the creature's hits while shooting it with webbing forcing its movements to slow down.
Nice just a bit more! However, things didn't go as I thought when I was hit like a rag doll.
Ughhh
in the midst of webbing it knocked the air out of me with its tail. This damned sense of mine really sucks only working when it wants to. Maybe Kol can fix it? Nah he's helped enough. I thought with a smile standing back up with talons ripping out of my gloves.
A nice new trick I really took a liking to.
With a burst of speed, I was back on the scaled monster as I slashed at parts that should have knocked it down but everything I hit just got healed. This thing was by far the hardest thing I'd fought which wasn't hard with only a couple of thugs in my experience.
Well if talons won't work let's see how you like bioelectricity
ZAAAAAP
The electricity easily flowed through the thing as it convulsed with foam falling from its mouth. Not wanting to kill it, I stopped and jumped off.
"Now isn't that shocking Bad Dum" I said while imagining some drums in the background
The lizard even after all that seemed to have recovered again as it spit some liquid on the webs making them melt off.
"That's just nasty and unhygienic haven't you heard of mouthwash? No? Just asking" I joked while having to dodge the spit wads heading my way
Using all my highschool experience in the process from having to dodge the ones made by Flash.
Looks like I got to do this the old-fashioned way then.
Mano a Mano
[POV Switch]
Running back at it Peter hoped to make enough damage to tire out its healing factor. He was sure this thing wouldn't just heal forever and must have some sort of stamina so with that in mind he began unloading his fists on it.
This went on for much longer than he wanted as it seemed to just get more annoyed, not tired in the slightest. In this back and forth he ended up being caught off guard with the tail wrapping around his foot as it began slamming him on the vehicles.
Despite this Peter was back up again in no time. In all honesty, this fight was more like zombies due to how fast they both healed.
However, things slowly began to take a turn when the scales slowly began falling off terrifying the Lizard in the process.
"No no no I need more!" Connors shouted as he realized the serum was losing its effects.
Peter didn't let up as he continued hitting the thing until the lizard's face morphed into one that was quite familiar to him.
"Connors? No, it can't be!" In his shock, Connors saw a chance to escape and swung his tail with all his might as he knocked Peter away.
Yet in that moment, a loud sound reverberated the street once more
Boom!
Argh! Glancing down he saw his arm ripped off and a robot limping towards him with a shotgun it picked up from who knows where.
[Hands in the Air]
Rage filled his eyes again but he knew he couldn't waste his time there and ran away with shots firing from behind before he found a manhole and jumped inside without a second thought. Leaving behind a worried Spider-Man and a robot that rested the shotgun on its shoulder.
Yet despite all the danger and destruction, these two were not alone. Hidden in a pile of debris, a gutsy blonde reporter managed to risk her life and follow the whole fight. Just for the chance to make headlines.
Christine Everheart a familiar and forgettable character.
