November 20th, Blake was outside with Dick by his side. "Dude... I hate seeing you like this. It's not fun or anything. Trust me, Scarlet's in a better place." Dick said. "Look, I know she's somewhere else, but that doesn't help me. I understand you're trying to help me, and I appreciate that, but it won't work." Blake replied. Dick became a little silent and sighed softly. Another Sasquatch was reported in another forest to Xavier, he and five men entered into a large forest of brown trees and white leaves.
"Stay close." The leader demanded. All five men stayed close to Xavier as they entered even deeper. A howl was heard and one of the men immediately began shooting towards the source of sound. Two men had to tackle him down in order for him to stop. "What the hell is wrong with you?! Is this your first fucking day?!" Both of them asked. "S-Sorry... I don't know what got into me." The man who fired answered. He seemed very nervous and twitchy.
"Follow my lead and don't fucking shoot unless I say so." Xavier said with a huff. All of them went with him towards a campsite, "What the fuck? How did anyone get here? Why haven't the other soldiers been guarding the god damn gates?" One man asked lowering his gun to inspect a bloody black cloth. "Watch every corner, do not let anything pass without being shot." Xavier ordered, all five men watched a side as their brave leader walked up to a tent, he then opened it and saw two dead men, both of which were naked and covered in blood. Both men also had their tongues ripped right out and their eyes removed, the one on the right had his brain removed as well, it was laying next to him with a bite taken out of it. "Jesus." Xavier commented.
"Men, we have ourselves a very hostile creature lurking around this forest. Keep your eyes open and in their respective sockets." The man said standing back up, the tent appeared to be black with a few holes in it and blood smeared across it on all sides. A dog's skeleton was found by one of the men, half of its legs were missing, all four of them. "Xavier, I found something." The man called out. Xavier went to the skeleton and felt uneasy, "This thing is definitely needing to be killed. If it's attacking humans and even a harmless animal, then it's definitely not safe. I doubt the dog provoked this thing." He said.
All of a sudden, one of the five men were missing, "Where's Jack?" Xavier asked. "I don't know. He was inspecting some blood and I just left him to it. He must've wandered off or something." A soldier answered. Xavier sighed and immediately tried contacting Jack through his speaker. "Jack Smith, where are you?"
There was no answer from the missing soldier, two men suddenly gasped when they witnessed him drop down from a tall tree, he was badly wounded, half his suit was torn off along with his flesh. Half his face was ripped off as well. The two men who saw this glanced up at the tree he fell from, there were eyes staring back, it was night by now and the eyes were yellow. Both men then screamed as gunfire was heard.
Xavier got to the spot with his remaining three men, they saw the beast, it was large, standing at a whopping twelve feet, very muscular and black furred. "FIRE!" Xavier yelled, his men did so and managed to get the creature to bleed a bunch of green blood, it kicked one of the men towards a tree and killed them. Two of Xavier's men shot right at the beast's face which angered it even more, both of the men had their necks snapped. Xavier was able to kill the beast with two shots to the head, finally putting it down as it fell on its back.
