Snippet #1259703

When Jake gave way War had his answer, the metal didn’t change all of the insides it was coating. Either that or the metal was flimsy, it made no difference against his might. War was superior physically, Jake had to use his powers just to match him. This was proof enough for the hybrid to feel victorious.
That’s when he felt the weight hit the back of his ankle, and he stammered backward almost landing on his backside. Luckily that tail was for more then just show and helped keep War’s weight distributed despite the little upstart’s clever trick.

“Hidden? We are not hiding anything… if we had wanted blood that candy shell wouldn’t matter at all. So go ahead and swing away you won’t hit us.”

The adrenaline surged through his body, the muscles tightened, and the soles of his feet spongy. Ready to end this personal quarrel and quite capable if either had realized the other’s limitations. If War had to guess Jake’s powers weren’t going to outlast his vigor. After all digestion was something that kicked in immediately and while this was all hypothesis it was something War would bet on.
There was a silence that took their battle, sort of like the break between boxing rounds. Overconfidence and impatience took War, and he folded his arms across his chest laughing at Jake who stood there still as stone. Then the mirth within him grew and he burst out snickering, the guy had eaten his own sneakers!

“Are you so delusional as to think being made of rubber and plastic will aide you?”

The hybrid threw his head back, and chortled fit beside himself with humor. That’s when the metal fist clocked him. The blow itself threw the beast to the ground, for a moment the world slipped from War’s view. It didn’t take but a few seconds before he was reoriented and standing again. A retaliation was in the making and he lunged forward with his fist first coming down upon Jake.
His fist would never make its target and slammed against some weird arm. War pulled back his knuckles to find blood smudged upon them, and looking beneath him there was Grey. What a stupid man to come between War and his prey.
“Stand aside…”
The only warning Grey was going to receive this day. As for Evelyn, well she wasn’t War’s focus and he had all but forgotten about her.
