THOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
The Hulk's massive left fist, smashed directly into the dead center of Weapon H's chest. A second later, Logan's dual-X claw strike slammed into the hybrid's face, the six adamantium blades aimed at the beast's glowing crimson eyes.
The hybrid's reflexes were impossibly fast. He raised his massive right arm, sweeping his three broadsword claws upward in a brutal, blinding parry that violently deflected Logan's strike. At the exact same moment, Weapon H leaned his entire body forward, absorbing the Hulk's punch directly on his adamantium-plated sternum.
CLAAANG-SHWREEEEK!
The shockwave blasted outward, physically blowing away the falling snow in a hundred-yard radius. The ground beneath them instantly liquefied from the sheer pressure, turning the frozen bedrock into a crater of shattered stone.
Logan was launched upward, spinning through the air like a silver buzzsaw. He didn't lose his momentum. While completely airborne, Logan twisted his hips, violently whipping his right leg around in a devastating roundhouse kick. His heavy, heel slammed into the side of Weapon H's neck with the force of a wrecking ball.
CRACK!
Weapon H grunted, his massive head jerking to the side.
The Hulk charged instantly. With his right hand mangled, the Green Goliath stepped into the crater, completely forgetting defense. He drove his massive left knee directly into Weapon H's groin, following it up with a brutal headbutt.
BANG! BANG!
Weapon H's ash-grey skin split open. Thick, radioactive green blood sprayed from his nose. But the hybrid just smiled a horrific, broken-jawed smile.
"MY... TURN."
Weapon H lashed out with his left hand, grabbing the Hulk by the throat and squeezed. The Hulk's eyes bulged as his windpipe was instantly crushed. With a terrifying surge of strength, Weapon H lifted the twelve-hundred-pound Hulk completely off his feet and violently slammed him face-first into the bedrock.
CRUNCH!
Before Weapon H could bring his foot down to crush the Hulk's skull, Logan landed directly on the hybrid's back.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
Logan's eyes burned with fury, glowing yellow. The Berserk Rage completely overrode his senses, turning him into a rabid, hyper-lethal killing machine. He dug his claws directly into the fleshy, unprotected gaps behind Weapon H's knees and under his armpits.
SHR-LICK! SHR-LICK! SHR-LICK!
Logan's hands were a blur of silver, striking a dozen times in less than two seconds. He tore out massive chunks of ash-grey muscle, severing arteries and ligaments in a frenzy of blood and gore.
Weapon H let out a distorted, booming roar of pure annoyance. He reached behind his head, his massive hand blindly grasping for the Wolverine clinging to his back.
Logan dropped his claws entirely, opened his mouth, and sank his teeth directly into Weapon H's shoulder.
His enhanced, feral jaw clamped down like a steel trap. He violently ripped his head backward, tearing a massive, bloody slab of flesh straight off the hybrid's shoulder.
"GRAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! GET... OFF!!!" Weapon H bellowed.
The hybrid didn't try to grab Logan anymore. Instead, Weapon H raised his massive right fist, extended the three claws to their absolute limit, and drove them completely backward, stabbing himself straight through his own shoulder.
SHR-KT!
The massive adamantium blades pierced through Weapon H's own chest and violently impaled Logan's chest.
Logan vomited a massive amount of blood as the colossal blades punched clean through his torso, scraping against his adamantium ribs before bursting out of his back. Weapon H wrenched his arm forward, violently throwing Logan over his shoulder and slamming him onto the jagged rocks below.
SLAM!
Logan's chest was laid completely open, a horrific, gaping wound that exposed his silver, pulsing ribs and completely shredded lungs.
In the dark void of his mind, a single, automated prompt flashed in violently aggressive text, completely ignored by him.
[CRITICAL ORGAN FAILURE DETECTED: HEART LACERATED]
[BERSERK RAGE PASSIVE: DEATH DELAYED. REGENERATION AT 400% CAPACITY]
Logan didn't stay down. He didn't even pause to breathe.
His body was literally knitting itself back together piece by piece in real-time, the muscles snapping back across his silver ribs like elastic bands. He sprang from the ground like a coiled viper, his claws popping with a sharp SNIKT, completely ignoring the blood pouring from his mouth.
But Weapon H had already shifted his attention back to the Hulk.
The Hulk had pushed himself up from the bedrock, his left hand grasping a massive, sixty-ton slab of solid reinforced concrete that had been the facility's upper parking garage. The Hulk hoisted the massive slab over his head and swung it like a giant, baseball bat directly at Weapon H.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAM!
The concrete slab completely exploded upon impact, shattering into a million pieces of grey dust and twisted rebar.
Weapon H absorbed the blow, sliding sideways three feet, leaving massive trenches in the stone from his feet, barely flinching from the attack.
Weapon H lunged forward through the concrete dust, leading with his left claws.
SHWREEE-EXT!
The blades sliced cleanly through the Hulk's left thigh, cutting straight down to the bone. The Hulk roared in agony, his massive leg buckling beneath him. As the giant dropped to one knee, Weapon H spun, raising his right claws to decapitate him.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
Logan intercepted the strike mid-air.
He vaulted off a jutting piece of bedrock and threw his entire body directly into the path of Weapon H's colossal blades. Logan crossed his arms, catching the three claws directly between his own six adamantium blades.
CLAAAAAAAAAAANG!
The sound of unyielding metal grinding against unyielding metal was deafening. Sparks showered over them in a blinding cascade. Logan was entirely airborne, using all his strength to hold back Weapons H's strike.
Weapon H pressed forward, his glowing crimson eyes locking onto Logan's own eyes.
"YOU... ARE... NOTHING," Weapon H rumbled, pushing his massive weight down, slowly forcing Logan's own claws back toward his throat.
" SHUT UP!!!!!"
Logan simply dropped his right arm completely, letting Weapon H's colossal blades slice cleanly through his left shoulder.
SHR-KT!
Logan's left arm was nearly severed, hanging on by a thick braid of muscle and his indestructible bone. But by dropping his guard, Logan created a single opening.
He drove his freed right fist violently upward, burying all three of his claws directly under Weapon H's chin, forcing the blades completely up through the roof of the hybrid's mouth and deep into his nasal cavity.
SHR-LICK!
Green, radioactive brain matter and hot blood exploded from Weapon H's nostrils.
"GWUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAARGH!!!!" Weapon H shrieked, the sound of pure, agonizing panic.
The hybrid violently ripped his head backward, pulling himself off Logan's claws, and spartan kicking him. The massive foot caught Logan squarely in the chest, launching him backward like a cannonball. Logan smashed through three separate trees before completely embedding himself inside the thick trunk of a massive Canadian oak.
CRUNCH!
Weapon H stumbled backward, his hands clutching his bleeding face. The hybrid's hyper-regeneration was immediately attempting to heal the massive brain trauma, but the brain tissue was slow to re-knit. He was dizzy, disoriented, and completely blinded by his own toxic blood.
The Hulk saw the opening and pushed through the agony of his severed thigh. He placed his massive left hand firmly on the bedrock, and forcefully dragged himself across the ground like a crippled predator.
When he was exactly five feet away, the Hulk coiled his entire upper body backward. Every single ounce of gamma-irradiated muscle fiber in his torso bulged to the absolute breaking point. His skin tore open under the sheer pressure of his own expanding mass.
"HULK... CRUSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
The Hulk uncoiled, driving his massive, unbroken left fist directly into Weapon H's right knee.
CRACK-BOOOOOOOOOOM!
The sound of Weapon H's massive thigh completely snapping in half echoed through the valley like a thunderclap. The unbreakable adamantium plating covering the hybrid's leg didn't shatter, but the bone underneath it was pulverized under the raw, strength of the Hulk's anger.
Weapon H's right leg violently inverted, bending completely backward.
The ten-foot titan let out a horrific, breathless gasp as his center of gravity was completely destroyed. For the first time since emerging from the cryogenic vault, Weapon H crashed down to the earth, dropping heavily onto his back. And with the chance given, Logan launched himself out the woods. His left arm hung uselessly at his side, his healing factor desperately fighting to reconnect the severed tendons, but his right arm was perfectly functional. He bounded across the shattered earth like a four-legged beast, moving unpredictably
Weapon H swung his left arm wildly from the ground, the claws cutting a massive trench through the stone.
Logan slid completely underneath the arc of the massive blades. He popped up directly beside Weapon H's extended left arm, raised his right foot, and violently stomped down directly onto the hybrid's elbow joint.
SNAP!
Weapon H's elbow dislocated with a sickening crunch.
Logan immediately followed up, diving directly onto Weapon H's chest. He raised his single, functional right hand, and began to hammer his three adamantium claws directly into the hybrid's face in a relentless, blinding flurry of strikes.
SHR-LICK! SHR-LICK! SHR-LICK! SHR-LICK!
One. Two. Five. Ten. Twenty strikes in less than four seconds.
He stabbed repeatedly into Weapon H's eyes, his cheeks, his throat, his shattered jaw. He completely shredded the grey, leathery skin, turning the hybrid's face into an unrecognizable, pulpy mess of glowing green gore and exposed adamantium skull plating.
"DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!" Logan's subconscious roared, though his lips only produced a feral, blood-gurgling snarl.
Weapon H was completely pinned. His right leg was pulverized. His left arm was dislocated. The Hulk had dragged himself over and placed his massive, twelve-hundred-pound body completely on top of Weapon H's right arm, pinning the hybrid's remaining broadsword claws firmly to the bedrock.
Weapon H's healing factor was completely overloaded. Every time his cells tried to knit his eyes back together, Logan's claws tore them right back out.
But the beast wasn't dead. Deep within Weapon H's shattered chest, gamma radiation began to build up. The adamantium plating across his shoulders and spine began to glow with a terrifying, vibrant red heat. The hybrid was completely abandoning his physical strikes. He was weaponizing his own radioactive blood.
"B-BB-BUUURRRNNNNNNNN...." Weapon H gurgled through the bloody ruin of his mouth.
A massive, blinding shockwave of pure thermal gamma radiation erupted directly from Weapon H's skin.
FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!
The heat was unreal. It was like standing on the surface of the sun. The ground beneath them instantly turned to molten rock.
The sheer concussive force of the thermal explosion violently blew Logan and the Hulk completely off the hybrid's body.
Logan was launched fifty feet into the air, his flesh instantly burned off under the sheer radioactive heat exposing his silver adamantium skeleton and the boiling, regenerating muscle tissue beneath.
SLAM!
Logan hit the ground, skipping across the molten rock like a skipped stone, leaving a trail of ash and boiling blood in his wake.
The Hulk fared slightly better, his massive mass keeping him grounded, but he was violently pushed backward across the dirt, his green skin smoking heavily, blistered and scorched black by the heat.
In the center of the molten crater, Weapon H slowly, agonizingly, dragged himself upright.
His right leg was still completely broken, hanging at a horrific angle. His left arm was completely useless. His face was entirely gone, replaced by a grinning, adamantium-plated skull dripping with boiling green plasma.
But he was still standing. He balanced on his good left leg, raising his one functional, right arm. The three claws extended.
The hybrid's healing factor was creating steam from the amount of energy it needed to heal his wounds. The flesh over his face slowly began to bubble and weave back together, forming horrific, scarred tissue over the metal skull. The broken femur in his leg popped loudly, forcibly aligning itself as the bones began to fuse back together.
The Hulk roared, trying to stand, but his severed left thigh muscle completely gave out. He dropped back down to the floor, his chest heaving, from the sheer, dangerous amount of blood loss.
Logan slowly pushed himself up from the dirt.
The Berserk Rage had pushed him completely past the limits of human endurance, but even the Animal had a limit. His regeneration was working so hard it too was physically generating steam, but there was too much damage .
[CRITICAL ALERT: BERSERK RAGE SUSTAINMENT FAILING]
[PHYSIQUE INTEGRITY: 12%]
[HEALING FACTOR: OVERHEATING. COOLDOWN IMMINENT]
[ADVICE: FATAL BLOW REQUIRED IN NEXT 10 SECONDS. PROBABILITY OF SURVIVAL: 0.01%]
The pain was suffocating, and almost mind breaking. Every single nerve ending in his body was screaming in agony.
Ten seconds, Liam thought, his vision blurring as he looked at Weapon H. If he heals that leg... we're both dead.
Weapon H took a slow, agonizingly heavy step forward on his right leg, testing the freshly knitted bone. It held.
" HAHAHAHAHAHA"
"Raaagh..." the Hulk moaned weakly from the dirt, entirely unable to move.
Logan dug the claws of his right hand deep into the dirt, using them to anchor himself as he stood up completely straight. He looked at the towering, indestructible monster standing in the crater, and Liam made his final, desperate move.He locked his eyes onto the massive, gaping wound he had torn in Weapon H's chest earlier—the exact spot where the hybrid had stabbed himself. The wound was rapidly closing, but there was still a two-inch gap in the muscle tissue directly over the heart.
It's was a one-in-a-million shot.
Logan bent his knees, ignoring the agonizing grinding of his own healing flesh. He focused every single ounce of raw kinetic energy, every last drop of the fading Berserk Rage, and funneled it entirely into his legs and his right arm.
"Hey, asshole!" Logan yelled, his voice a loud rasp.
Weapon H turned his massive, scarred skull toward the sound, raising his right arm for the final, lethal strike.
"DIE."
Logan pushed off and launched himself like a bullet directly at the center of Weapon H's chest.
Weapon H swung his massive right arm down in a devastating guillotine strike, the claws moving with impossible speed, aimed directly at severing Logan completely in half.
SHR-KT!
The massive blades slammed down, but Liam twisted his body at the last second.
Weapon H's three colossal claws plunged straight through Logan's right shoulder, completely pinning him mid-air, the blades bursting out the bottom of Logan's ribs.
The pain was unspeakable, Liam's vision went completely white.
But it was exactly what he needed. By letting himself be completely impaled on Weapon H's arm, Logan was pulled directly inside the hybrid's defensive guard. He was right against the beast's chest and using this chance raised his right hand.
SNIKT.
He didn't activate the Hot Claws. He just drove his hand forward with the force of a desperate, dying man.
He shoved his entire fist, right up to the wrist, directly into the closing, bloody gap in Weapon H's chest. His three adamantium blades went through the armor, past the thick ribs, and plunged deep into the large heart of the beast.
Weapon H froze. The crimson light in his eyes flickered.
Logan looked up into the monster's face, his own lips pulled back in a horrific, bloody, triumphant grin.
"Game over, bub."
Logan forcefully twisted his wrist, and violently expanded his claws outward, completely piercing the hybrid's heart from the inside out.
