People were screaming and scampering about while cars crashed into each other in the avenue.
"SCREECH!!... CRASH!!... WHACK!!...
Towering in front of a highrise in the distance were two mutant beasts fighting.
A beast bear with dirty black fur and a black gigantic bee with golden tones, it was so hairy and its stinger was as thick as a streetlight pole and glistening with venom.
"RUMBLE!!... BANG!!...
The beast bear swatted its large paw at the bee which it dodged with unnatural agility, the swatted paw shattered the window of the highrise.
"SMASH!!...
Marcus' heart skipped a beat, and not long it started racing, blood still streaming down from his cheek due to the flying glass shard.
The corner beside the particular highrise was his way home, where is the awakened, a question without answer.
"Damn it!" Marcus cussed frustratedly.
The time was around 5:30 p.m., and after three hours of working, he was meant to go home, freshen up, and sleep off his problems, but here was another problem.
Cars were skidding over cars while trucks were also skidding over cars, and they scattered across the lane of the avenue.
Many people were caught in the accident as the beast bear which stood on its hind leg trudged around on the lane while fighting the colossal bee, while the bee was hovering with a blur of wings, the colossal hind legs of the bear thud across the lane.
"RUMBLE!!... THUD!!...
The whole area rumbled with roar and buzz.
Something caught Marcus' eye with how his heart was thumping very hard.
There was a cot in front of the highrise and between the mutant beasts.
And a baby was crying in it but its voice was drowned by the surrounding noise.
"Don't tell me that is what they are fighting over"
Marcus tried to calm himself down amidst the chaos, a week of hibernation, a beast hawk at school, and two mutant beasts in the city.
He started fitting the puzzle, what is the beast hawk finding at school, why are the mutant beasts fighting over a baby?
"Food"
The word tumbled out of Marcus' mouth, even if it is food that means they have an age limit for food, and it may be that the younger the better.
As expected, people were almost clear away from the avenue, looking at buildings beside him, there wasn't anybody as their door flung open and swung left and right.
'Am I curious about this fight again? Why haven't I run too, why am I looking like there was something I wanted to do as I stood on the sidewalk?'
Looking at the lane, cars that skidded had landed on each other, some were dead inside while some doors were opened to reveal that their owners had fled.
The ground was rumbling with every step the black bear took, its legs the size of a building.
"RUMBLE!!...
The beast black bear's right hind leg swept at the back of a black car, the impact sent it flying and it almost landed where Marcus stood on the sidewalk.
"Bang!!...
Marcus jumped and dived sideways immediately but he noticed something flying in his direction.
Marcus was still diving in midair when he saw the stuff.
No, it was more like a liquid, it was a pale yellow-colored liquid, instantly Marcus was covered by the pale yellow liquid.
"SPLASH!!...
"Ew!!...
Then he crashed into the entrance of a pub, he thank God the glass window was opened.
Marcus stood up with no particular injury inside the pub and sniffed around his body which was now wet and strained with a pale yellow liquid.
The pale yellow liquid was slightly thicker than water.
Marcus reflexively licked his upper lip.
"Humm...
It tasted sweet as Marcus savored the taste with his tongue against the roof of his mouth.
He blinked twice, where did this sweet liquid come from, a question without an answer, Marcus rushed outside the pub and glanced at the colossal beasts fighting.
The beast bear appeared to have gripped the beast bee's thorax with its paw.
Marcus knew immediately that the liquid that drenched him was processed nectar the bee was supposed to transfer through trophallaxis.
The beast bear was squeezing hard at the beast bee's thorax so that its proboscis extended out entirely which seemed to be almost thirty feet long.
Suddenly the gaze of the beast black bear fell on Marcus, he froze at the red malevolent glowing eyes which was looking down at him like he was a newfound prey.
Perhaps due to his state of mind, Marcus unconscious whispered to him that this was the second time he would be looked at with a predator's eyes today.
His body shuddered and his legs started quivering almost to the stage of collapsing.
'what have I brought to myself again, I should have run away like any other person'
"CREAK!! CREAK!!...
Marcus' head creaked around the scenery as he forced his head to turn while his body still shuddered.
The avenue was devoid of people and the beast bee appeared to be limp in the powerful grip of the beast bear large paw.
As expected, a mutant insect has no chance against a mutant animal, although one would say it depends on their compatibility.
Some insects are deadly while some animals are powerful naturally without being mutated, like a bear and gorilla.
But then the beast bear released its powerful grip from the beast bee.
The beast bee fell with a powerful thud as if a high rise was released from an aircraft.
"RUMBLE!!... CRACK-CRACK!!...
The impact made jagged cracks to spiderwebbed across the lane, some cars were caught in the shockwave the fall created as they skid away.
The beast bear bound toward Marcus immediately with incredible speed.
Marcus regained his frozen and shuddery and instinctively turned back and dashed while his heart started hammering against his chest.
Marcus' mind was blank, the only thing he could do was run, run to survive, he almost tumbled as his leg hit a drainage.
He actually fell on his knees, one second of turning back to look at the beast bear, it was already a stone's throw.
