Regular occurrences happened on this dark alley, where thieves, prostitutes and dwellers of the underworld resides.
A battered man of forty years came running limply on this very place. Terror etched on his face when as he run in a corner he comes to a dead end.

Footsteps echoed in the alley making the blood on the man's face pale. Like a symphony from hell that he can't escape, the man desperately claw the wall as he tries to climb to the other side.

Suddenly, a hard object was pressed on the back of his head. His whole body shook in terror as he hesitantly turns around and came face to face with the head of a gun. His back slid to the wall and a wet patch forms on his lower body.

"Please have mercy! I-I'll pay you no matter how much you want! I beg you"

The man whimpered as he tries to bargain for his life.


"Do you know who I am?"

A young man clothed in black asked.

The man gulp in terror as he answered "Y-you're the Black Cat"

" And what do they say about Black Cat..."

In the very moment the young man asked that, the man cried pitifully and brokenly answered
"N-no one l-lives the m-moment they s-saw Black Cat"

"Please! I beg you! I have a wife and kids...T-they need me, p-please"

" Did you gave mercy to the kids you raped and killed?"
The Black Cat chillingly asked.

The man stop begging and started laughing hysterically. His maniacal laugh echoed in the alley making a few rats scatter.
"Y-you! You're going to kill me just because of good for nothing brats! At least they're good for fuc-"

" Dark Illusion"

The Black Cat cut as he intoned this words. He grips the man's jaws hard as he made the man stare at his eye. Ear-piercing scream erupted from the vile man and Ikuto let go of the man's face.
Different lacerations suddenly appeared on the man's body and the man let a particular shriek as the man's apparatus was separated from his body.

Ikuto sneered at the man in disgust and fired the Thanatos making the man's head to be blown away.

" Humans are truly rotten"

Bruce drove his motorcycle. He got hsi target's scent. Bastard was a child rapist and killer. He was being payed a lot of moeny to take this bastard out. He parked at a alley. This was the place. The man was close. But wait.

Another scent, close by. He drew his pistol. Regular bullets in it. A adamantium clip on his belt. But that was a last resort. THe Word Black cat. That word sounded familiar. Where did he hear that before? Then he saw a man in a cloak. A gun. His target.

The gun shot and the target was dead. "That was my contract bub. I was being paid a lot of money to take him out." Bruce then saw his face. He recognized it. "So youre the Black Cat i heard of...a lot of money to take you out." Bruce smirked pointing his twin pistols. "But I can tell your gonna put up a fight." Bruce jumped back firing several rounds at the Black Cat.

"So a pest came? "
Ikuto muttered as he uses Shadow Walk to the bounty hunter's shadow, making him disappear and evade the bullets. He appeared behind the guy and bash his head with his gun Thanatos and kick the hunter's back.

Bruce froze seeing the man vanish. But he was still here. He could still smell the target. Logan turned quickly, but felt the gun hit his head. It didnt phase Bruce really. "Adamantium skull bub... gotta try harder then that." Bruce said tried to shoot the other assassin again.

Ikuto deflect the bullets with Thanatos and also shoot the man as a distraction.
"Getting a bash with my Thanatos that was made from orichalcum and still standing...you're no ordinary human eh?"

Breaking Thanatos in half making the ordinary cartridges fall he quickly inserted a Freeze Bullet. He fired it at the hunter, hitting the man's body making him freeze.

"I have no business with you. If you still pursues me. I won't let you alive"
Ikuto said while cocking the gun on the man's head.

"Not human Bub. Mutant, with Adamantium laced bones. Adamantium is the strongest metal around Bub." Bruce said with a smirk. The mutant jumped back but was hit with the freeze bullet. He was growling, and a distinct snikt was heard.

The Ice cracked and then it broke. Bruce's claws shined in the light and he growled. His anger rising, no he coudlt get to angry. He didnt want to let the beast out. Bruce raised his claws. "Im gonna cut your goddamn head off..."

Hoo....interesting.

"So you intend to fight?"
Ikuto said as he eyed the man's claws.

He fired another two Freeze Bullets simultaneously on the same spot on the man's body, making the ice's thickness doubled.

"A mutant huh... you say that you have adamantium laced bones. The strongest metal you say? You've probably never heard of orichalcum. "
The Black Cat ask as he discarded the freeze bullet's cartridges.

"It is also the strongest metal on this planet...How about try testing..."

Ikuto put the Orichalcum Bullet inside the Thanatos and cocks the gun on the hunter's head.

" Which is stronger...Adamantium or Orichalcum? Just so you know, Orichalcum Bullet can destroy any material on Earth.

Seeing the man's angry visage, he continued saying

"Start your prayers now cause you'll about to die"

And Ikuto pulled the trigger

Bruce growled and roared attempting to slash the boy. But the frozen bullets stopped him. he growled looking at the boy. The mutant growled trying to break the ice that encased his body. "Yep....strongest metal around...you would be surprised by thr stuff it can withstand."

The Bullet knocked his head back. Blood leaked from the wound. It looked like it was over, but the ice began cracking. Bruce broke free and looked up at the assassin. There was a gleam of his head. The gleam was coming from a part of his skull that was visible, but the wound already began healing. "Healing factor too Bub." Bruce said with a smirk "Gonna take more then that to take me down.."

He loaded the Adamantium bullets and aimed "Try Adamantium bullets." He aimed firing the bullets, attempting to shoot the gun out of Thanatos out of his hand.

"Tch..."

Ikuto deflect the bullets with Thanatos. He frowned when saw that it got a scratch.

"It's the first time that Thanatos got a scratch... It's a stalemate then"

He said then promptly vanish, reappearing again behind the man's back. He fires an Orichalcum Bullet and a Burst Bullet simultaneously on the same spot on the man's shoulder making it blown up.

Sprays of blood splash on him but Ikuto frown again when he saw that it's starting to regenerate and only the flesh blown up and not the bones. He only sees a slight dent on it and the man's healing factor is trying to repair the dent.

Irritated, he muttered
"Like a damn lizard..."

Guess it is a stalemate bub." Bruce said growling, but as he swiped to slash the guy,he cursed as the guy vanished again from his sight. But he coukd still smell him. "Why dont you fight me head on coward."

Bruce was knocked back by the bullet. The mutant growled feeling his jacket being ripped open. "bastard...I liked this jacket." The wound on his back began healing again. Bruce turned aroudn firing two more shots of the adamantium bullets. *I have 3 bullets each. Gotta save them

"Not a lizard bub. A wolverine." he said with a growl

His regeneration skill is annoying

Ikuto thought in annoyance as he summersaulted in the air, firing a Burst Bullet at the man's right eye making it burst. He then fires a Crying Bullet making the hunter uncontrollably cry, aggravating his injury and making his sight blurry.

"A wolverine who cried eh? Can't take the pain wolf boy?"

The Black Cat taunted as he put another succession of Burst Bullet and Orichalcum Bullet.

They do say that the only way to kill a zombie is to shoot it at its head...His adamantium bones is gonna be a problem to pierce his brain.I know that I can dent it with the combination of my two special bullets. I just need to use these combination repeatedly and fire it on the same spot before his regenaration skill kicks in. It will be an annoyance but I ain't a master marksman for nothing.

Brue turned blocking oneof the bullets with his claws. He growled the second round hit him. He crowled as tears poured from his eyes. Except he wasnt crying on his own. This bullet had to do domethign about it.
The rage building. The beast inside wanting to escape.

"You dont know what I have hidden.."
Bruce dodge the first one but the second hit. Damn these tears are blocking my vision Bruce aimed his gun at The Black Cat's hand that was holding the gun. He aimed and fired several adamantium rounds.

Bruce looked around to try get him out of the shadows. Bruce put his pistol away and climbed up a wall, to the top of the building.

Ikuto dodged the bullets fired his way and hide through the shadows with his skill Shadow Cloak, making the hunter can't find him even by his scent.
The Black Cat observed the hunter as the guy climbed up to the wall.

Ikuto smirk at the Hunter's intention.
Firing Burst Bullets at the hunter despite knowing that it will regenerate soon, Ikuto watch dispassionately as the guy tries to ignore the pain that was inflicted to him.

The Black Cat fired another Crying Bullet at the hunter hindering further the guy's sight.

"Hmm..."

Ikuto hum to himself as he shoot a Freeze Bullet and loaded another Burst and Orichalcum combination to his gun.

He fired the combination at the frozen man on the man's nape , blowing away the chunk of flesh and denting the man's bone on his nape. Firing another combination on the same spot again simultaneously, Ikuto can already see the further denting with his enhanced eye sight.
Smirking triumphantly to himself, he repeatedly fired the combination bullets that finally the Orichalcum Bullet manage to pierce the bone. Though the bullet was stuck at the man's nape because of the hunter's regeneration skill.
Ikuto loaded another combination to his gun and cocks the gun at the man's nape where the bullet is still stuck.

Ikuto then promptly pulled the trigger.

Brucce cursed as the on go of bullet his him. The beast wascoming. his eys became green. The bullet hit, but slowly pushed out. The other bullets pushe dout as well. His skin became bright green, his hair longer, his body larger.
the beast was out, a loud roar was heard and the beat turned to the Black Cat. 'Claw crush cat man!" He slammed his fists down on the building, causing a large crack to form on the ceiling and soon break

His eyes widen in surprised as the hunter's body change and that the bullet was push out the moment the guy transformed.

He watch as the green beast for that can only be said to the bounty hunter, as he rage and tore through the alley while trying to find him.

The Black Cat fires a Freeze Bullet at the beast and he watch dispassionately as the beast brokes away as if it's a mere annoyance. He fires a Crying Bullet at his opponent and watch as the beast rage with tears in its eyes.

Looks like I'm just angering it further... Who would've thought that a mere mutant will force me to take things further...

The Black Cat thought as his amber eyes slitted and a cat ears and tail puff up on his body.

The beast roared as the bullets hit him the billets did small damage to him. He roared slamming his fists on the building. The building shook from strike, it was surprising the building didn't fall but it was unknown how much longer it could take. Bruce was inside trying to take back control. "Claw crush Cat man!" He slammed his foot down and the building began to fall

Hmm...let's see if the beast can make me transform to my whole form

The Black Cat thought, cat ears twitching at the noise the hulk is making.

Leaping to the air, he uses Air Walk and runs in the air taunting the beast as he did so.

The hulk roared and saw the black cat in the air. He threw large pieces of the destroyed building. He then had a idea and slammed his hand together. A small shockwave from the clap was sent at his foe

Ikuto braced himself at the shock wave sent his way. Being thrown by the wave, he vanish midair and appeared behind the hulk.
Firing a combination of Burst Bullet and Orichalcum Bullet at the nape of the hulk, he watch at the result and frowned when it only leave a reddened mark and black soot on the hulk's skin.
Tch... Looks like his skin has toughen up

Vanishing again, he appeared on a rooftop of the building.

Tsk...I have no choice but to transform in my whole form to access my full power...

Gathering the shadows, a black mass engulfed him. It flew up in the air and with a blinding light of shadows. Ikuto appeared on his full form.


"Time to finish this"
