Last chapter!

Thanks for re review, HarryB178, glad you liked it. Enjoy!

The creature moved slowly on the edge of town. Remy watched it from the shadow of a house. The lights were on inside and a tv was flickering. He stood outside the glow of light and watched the figure stumble along. He wondered where Sabretooth was and why he hadn't come and confronted the creature. Maybe the man really was going to let the town be killed. Even when he could prevent it. It sounded like something Sabretooth would do. He himself drew back and waited. The creature was starting towards a house on the end of town. It seemed to be having trouble figuring out how to get in. finally it used it's claws to cut through the door knob. That was when Remy stepped out of the shaddows and tossed a card into the garden. A small exploston went off next to the creature and it turned. It was walking more upright than the last time he'd seen it. It made it seem even taller.

The creature spotted him and after a moment's hesitation lunged towards him. He swung his bo staff towards it and struck it across the back. It was slower now. It's injuries were slowing it. Suddenly and with surprising speed it caught his staff mid swing. There was a crunch as he heard it's hand break but it didn't let go. Caught in a moment of surprise he failed to dodge as the creature swiped at him. At the last second he twisted away and it only managed to claw his shoulder and arm. He cried out in pain and then was knocked aside.

In a flurry of movement Creed came running towards them. He sank his claws into the creature's chest and dragged him to the ground. There was a high squealing noise as the creature cried out. Their claws ripped at each other and blood flew into the air. In a moment of anger and wild rage Sabretooth slashed at the creature's throat. His claws skimmed the surface drawling blood but failing to kill. Remy noticed in an instant that the creature was growing better at fighting. It grew more coordinated as it went and after a moment he saw it was beginning to learn the basics of tactics. Creed was right, the damn thing was getting smarter. Hell, it was learning!

The two animals rolled around on the ground and fought viciously. Creed swore and cursed and the creature made inhuman noises. At least twice Remy thought he heard an articulate word but he couldn'be sure. Finally the two broke apart and the creature retreated against the house. Creed snarled at him and lunged again. He was ready to kill.

Remembering what Sinister had said about bringing the creature back alive he yelled out. "Stop!" Creed hesitated for a moment and the creature struck, slashing at his abdomen. There was yelling and then Remy found both monsters lunging towards him. He dropped two cards and sprang backwards. The creature's eyes caught the explosion and it rolled away, clutching it's face. The light must have blinded it. It floundered and Creed turned from Remy to the creature again and slashed at it's stomach, mirroring the blow it had given him. He slashed again and again and the creature howled out in agony.

"Non, stop it!" Remy cried. "You'll kill it. Sinister wants it alive."

Creed growled but he stopped. The creature lay on the ground whimpering and hissing.

Tentatively Remy stepped towards it. It looked up and met his eyes, hissing. "Tie it up." He said quietly. Something was different in it's eyes and it unnerved him. There was more there than the last time. Maybe more intelligence maybe something else. He didn't know.

They dragged the creature into the woods and Remy stole a pick up from the town. They threw the creature in the back and put a tarp over it. It lay in the back bleeding and whimpering.

Stuck in a pick up between two killers Remy sat in the passenger's seat and stayed quiet. His shoulder was hurting badly and the one time he had tried to look at it Creed had sneered like that made him weak. He knew it wasn't that bad but it hurt regardless. He leaned heavily against the window and flexed his fingers. Creed glanced every now and then into the reerview mirror and checked on their captive. Occasionally there came a thump when the creature tried to move around. It moaned a few times and then when they were half way across the state it let out a loud yowl and Remy heard a sound he didn't like. A rustle and then a thump on the road behind him. The creature had thrown it's self over the side of the truck.

Creed slammed on the breaks and they hurried out. It was pitch black out as they searched. The creature had managed to slip the chains somehow. Maybe it was a lot smarter than they'd thought.

Remy looked around in the dark and spotted the monster running through the field ahead. It ran wildly and sloppily through the bean field. Creed took chase again and cursed loudly. The damn thing's persistence and inability to realize when it was defeated was insane.

In the distance Remy could see the first few rays of sunlight peak over the flat land. In a sudden moment of shock the creature stopped and stared into the light, eyes wide and somehow stunned.

Before Remy could stop him Creed sunk his claws into the creature's chest and there was a horrific tearing sound as he ripped upward, tearing the damn thing's throat out.

It fell to the ground and twitched for a few minutes before going limp and finally still.

"Damn it!" Remy swore.

Creed looked down at the thing in mild surprise. Then he shrugged and looked back at Remy with a grin. There was blood all over his hands and front. He grinned wickedly. "Oops.."

They stood for a while as dawn crept over them. Light finally spilled over the beans and illuminated the corps in the field. It lay still with blood blossoming down it's front. Then as thought it was just another day's work , Creed slung the corps over his shoulder and carried it back to the car. Leaving the green of the plants stained with blood.

Back in the truck they covered the body with the tarp and Remy sat quietly. His clothes and his shoulder were stiff with blood. He didn't mention it. Creed wouldn't have cared.

They drove to an old factory outside of Little Rock and then got out. It was a hot sunny day and Remy shucked his coat. He sat on the rail of the flat bed and waited while Creed went inside the factory to make a phone call. Not long after he came out and sat on an over turned crate.

"He comin'?" Remy asked.

Creed grunted. "He'll be here."

And sure enough about twenty minutes later Sinister appeared. From where he didn't know but the man finally arrived and Remy was that much closer to getting it over with.

Sinister looked under the tarp and clicked his tongue. "Victor, I said I wanted him alive."

Creed grunted. "Got a little carried away."

"Clearly. And it was your job to stop him." He said disdainfully, glancing at Remy who had moved his shoulder a little too enthusiastically and was now paying for it.

Remy shrugged his good shoulder.

"Pity, I had hopes for it. When you create something and it fails you, there is always a loss felt."

Remy light a cigarette. "I don' think it failed. You gave it a purpose when you created it an' it did jus' that. Only you got mad about it. Realized you made somethin' you couldn' control."

Sinister gave him a cold glare that seemed marred by the bright sun. "You can go your way, Mr. LeBeau." With a gesture of his hand Sabretooth came and removed the corpse, tossing Remy the keys.

Once the two were gone he tapped off his cigarette and stubbed it out before lighting another and starting up the engine. He headed back the way he'd come. Back to St. Louis. Half way there he thought that maybe somewhere else might do him some good. He wasn't ready for the east cost but Nashville was fine or maybe Atlantic City. He headed east and tried to forget the creature. Tried to forget the way it had looked at him with eyes that only registered a life to be taken and he tried not to think about what it had been growing into. It had gotten smarter as it went along. Who knew what kind of monstrosity it might have ended up as.

Things like that were better left in the dark recesses of Sinister's laboratories or better yet, not even existing. He shuddered at the thought and accelerated as he put distance between him and the foul world Sinister created. He'd escaped that a long time ago and he had no desire to go back.

Passing a sign saying he was in Mississippi he stepped on the gas. Somewhere else would be better, even if there was no where they couldn't find him. And anyway, he'd end up back with the X-Men soon enough, he might as well have some fun while he could.

Thanks for reading, I wasn't thrilled with the end cause I kind of wanted it to go one but i couldn't think of anything more to add.
