“Time to gear up.” Dr. X said to the Angels. (@Mctoran)

The force that was returned by Savager towards Bruce sent him flying, knocking him hard into the ground with a heavy thud.

“Bruce!” Spider-Man called out as he swung towards Savager and thrusted a devastating kick into Savager’s jaw.

Savager turned and slashed his claws at Spider-Man’s legs.

He maneuvered his body in mid-air so that one of his legs gut slashed by Savager’s claws and that was his left thigh as he landed on the ground with a heavy thud.

Bruce slowly rose up on his rear shaking his head as the blow sent him flying quite a bit into the ground, noticing that Spider-Man was down on the ground he raises his head towards Savager and fires a laser beam to get his attention.

Savager turned to face Bruce angrily.

“Well, what are you looking at here?” He asked. “Come get me!” He said tauntingly as he stood up on his feet and had a nano-blade form on his fist.

Savager began to take a few steps forward, preparing to break into a charge.

@L.O.S.S-KAL

Savager stepped out off the way of the figure’s path, and it instead was now charging towards Bruce.

Luxatium opens a dimensional gate in the ground in front of Savager, attempting to make him stumble. Possibly even take off a leg.

Savager stumbled into the hole, and his right leg from the knee down was severed. Savage was left temporarily incapacitated as his leg regenerated.

Savage, stuck lying on the floor, could not do anything.

The mass of metal and material proceeded to trample over the prone body of savager creating vast craters within the sack of meat

Savager, as he was trampled, attempted to stab one of his claws into Leadhead’s armor and pierce it.

The claw would violently buckle under the metal sabatons folding at a 180 degree angle

Savager disconnected the rest of his body from his claws, searching for any vulnerable spots in Leadhead’s structure.

Savager used the claws of his other arm, to jab into the fleshiest spot he could find. Savager attempted to dig in as deep as possible.

The claw stabbed straight through the fabric and entered the knotted meat within.

For a moment, nothing moved.

Then a gravely deep and grinding laugh came from the hulking suited figure, a laugh that came from within the belly, a mocking laugh.

Savager, confused, slowly looked up at the figure.

The empty black pit stared back, there seemed to be something making it’s way out.

A particle beam proceeds to impale what remained of savager’s visible facial features

Yup that’s probably it

Savager’s head exploded, and his body slumped over.

It lay still for a few moments.

Then, suddenly , it began to twitch to life again.


Savager’s body no longer had a form that resembled anything empty human. It was too mangled, too malformed from all its mutations and injuries. It was now a writhing pile of flesh.
The flesh pile twisted and contorted, expanding immensely. Enormous arms and legs took shape, and a large pair of mandibles sprouted from the creature’s mouth. Black oily tentacles sprouted out from some places.
Savager released…some sort of sound. It wasn’t a screech, or a roar. It was a sound of pure rage and bloodlust being released.

The angels equipped themselves with AN extraction devices, and approached Dr. X.
“We’re ready.”

“Remember, if you feel weak and/or tired, get back to the craft immediately, no exceptions.” Dr. X told them as he entered an EVA suit and readied a harvester of his own.

Upon seeing the abomination of Savager’s form in front of Bruce’s human eyes, he felt more likely disgust by this sight as his foot repulsors activated and started to fly around, his hands forming into repulsor cannons and began firing at Savager while on his back the micro-missiles deployed and came straight towards Savager.

Savager took the hits, in fact, came towards them himself. Savager smashed his body through the explosion as if he were breaking through a barrier. He then swiped his claw at Bruce, grabbing him by the leg. With an immense amount of force, Savager slammed Bruce’s body into the ground, creating cracks where he landed. He repeated this several more times back and forth until Bruce was disoriented and weakened by the blows.

Bruce indeed felt disoriented and weakened, almost about to throw up even as his vision became very blurry. Mercy was detecting that Bruce was in a life-threatening situation and if something did not happen he could likely die.

Suddenly his HUD vision turned from blue to red, as there were mechanical sounds and steam coming off from his suit. It started shifting into a more streamed line form, his shoulder armor was bigger as well as his kneecap armor.

Two big spikes protruded from his collarbone and his helmet together with his overall body changed and Bruce felt a sudden boost of energy in his life force, the dizziness and blurry vision with other painful emotions all gone as his right hand materialized into a much larger repulsor cannon and blasts Savager’s claws off of his foot and lands by doing a backflip with a ground pound on the ground.

He took a few breaths as he came to himself and looked at Savager. “Okay, my turn.” He said as his forearms transformed into two big unibeam cannons that were glowing a very bright blue.

Savager loomed high above Bruce menacingly, as he began to unsteadily stand up in a bipedal position. He now towered high above Bruce.

If Savager could have grinned at this moment, he would have. He raised both claws in the air, as he prepared to strike one final killing blow on Bruce.

Suddenly, out from nowhere, a large weapon came smashing down on Savager’s body. It was large Angelic weapon, appearing to be a cross between a Warhammer and a Battle Axe.

Skullbreaker

Berserker charged out of the darkness and retrieved his weapon from Savager’s body as he jabbed his spiked fist into the creature. Savager charged forward and began wrestling Berserker. The two behemoths struggled against one another, neglecting to care for their surroundings or the people in it.

Savager coiled his tentacles around Berserker’s neck, attempting to strangle him to death. But Berserker sliced Savager’s tentacles away and kicked him back.

Savager roared with fury. With what bare intelligence he had left, he managed to muster a few final words to Berserker.

“I…just…wanted…to be…powerful…l-like you!” The monster wailed.

Berserker, showing no remorse to the monster, gripped Skullbreaker tightly as he swung down hard. The force of the blow was powerful enough to split Savager’s body clean in half down the middle, right through the brain.

When the two halves of Savager slumped down lifelessly, Berserker kicked them off over the edge of a deep pit. He then roared triumphantly.

“Took you long enough,” Bruce said to Berseker with a deadpan expression as he crossed his arms under his chest and looked at him. Berserker could tell that he was arching an eyebrow at him behind his helmet.

Berserker turned to face Bruce with a glare. However, before the beast could react, he reverted back into Mark.

Mark, exhausted by his transformation, collapsed to his knees, wiping Savager’s black blood from his body.

The helmet dissolved into his collar as he walked towards Mark.

“What’s with the new getup?” He remarked to Bruce, half-confused by his new form.

He blinked a few times as he realized that he indeed had a new form, he looked at himself for a second there and then back at Mark.

“I honestly don’t know.” He said sincerely. “When I was about to die, it just activated and allowed me to escape Savager’s grip.”

“Oh, that? We installed that as a mechanism in your suit.” Michael said to Bruce.

“Whenever you or your suit reaches critical damage, it will ‘evolve’ into a more advanced and deadlier form as a precautionary measure.”

“Neat,” Bruce said with a smirk. “No wonder why it felt so alive when I first put it on.”

@L.O.S.S-KAL
Mark slowly turned to face the newly arrived figure. After examining it closely, he recognized who they were.
“L-Leadhead? Is that you?” Mark asked.

The angels nodded dutifully, and followed behind Dr. X.

“Well, it appears we weren’t the first to have attempted this.” An angel remarked, even noticing the remains of multiversal beings like Angels, Xir’algath and Infinites among the bodies.

“Our gear should protect us from the ill effects of the AN, but not forever and our survival is more important than getting the AN.” Dr. X said as he began to descend into the cave.

The figure turned and looked at the entity they might have once called a friend. Garbled sounds spurted out from their helmet like auditory pus, foul steamy gases swirled from their stained body.

Deeper into the caves the bodies became more frequent and more decayed, interestingly however all of them had been here long beyond the point of decay, it was as if the bodies were being preserved.
