Prologue:
For quite some time, the world had been moving in a direction of peace. After the war on Ninjeta, it seemed as if there was no one left to fight. For once in the history of the world, nearly all major wars had ceased and it appeared that the nations were working together to create a better future for humanity. Though it seemed to be a Utopian mindset, the one thing that everyone wanted was peace.
However, some thought that it was all too good to be true. For example, certain well-known villains were being given pardon of their offenses so that they could devote their efforts towards this idea of world peace. One individual who was pessimistic towards this change was the Hunter. In all his years, he had never seen the world leaders acting in this manner. Though he kept his cynicism to himself, certain members of Wolf Pack could pick up on it.
One night, an encoded transmission was sent directly to Greystoke Manor in Scotland. In the transmission, a member of the United Nations was calling for Wolf Pack's aid. The transmission conveyed urgency and revealed a plot to assassinate several council members of the United Nations - an act that would plunge the globe into an all-out war. The message also said for the Hunter to arrive at the UN Headquarters in New York to covertly prevent the attack.
Therefore, the Hunter took a small detachment of Wolf Pack and made his way to New York. Once the group had arrived, they successfully infiltrated the heavily-guarded facility. When they had infiltrated, their scanning devices stopped working - almost as if something were interfering with them. However, they still had Talon and the Hunter's keen senses to guide them. They only hoped that they were not too late....
United Nations Headquarters - New York
"It's quiet...." the Hunter said, looking over to Talon. "....too quiet." Silently, the two made their way through the corridors of the UN Headquarters. Dawning his black Wolf Pack uniform, the Lycan King's sword was strapped to his back alongside a quiver-full of arrows. With two large knives on his belt and his compound bow in his hand, he was ready for infiltration. Though the look had varied over the years, the basic makeup of his arsenal remained the same.
As he sniffed the air, Greystoke turned over to his daughter and asked, "Do you smell that too?" Baring his teeth a little and letting out a low growl, he then said, "It smells like a rat to me....." The Hunter then reached up to his ear and activated his com-link to the rest of the team. "LONE WOLF ALPHA to WOLF PACK.... BETA TEAM, sweep around WEST of the main auditorium...... GAMMA TEAM, cover EAST...... DELTA TEAM, cover SOUTH. Talon and I will be coming in from the NORTH."
With that, Wolf Pack sprang into action. Down below in the main auditorium of the United Nations, a council meeting was taking place just as if nothing were different. In order to not arouse any suspicion, Wolf Pack operated in silence, utilizing stealth and being sure not to disturb anything.
The Hunter knew something was wrong. His instincts were telling him that something was extremely wrong with the situation and his senses were validating it. As he made his way into a balcony overlooking the main area, he made sure to stay out of sight. Suddenly, a smug voice came up from the floor of the UN saying, "I was wondering when you'd get here...."
"What the..." William said under his breath.
"That's right, William Greystoke." the voice said. "I've been waiting for you and all your pups to show up for quite some time now. Oh, and I already know where you are by the com-link in your ear. Yes, I can sense it."
"It's a f#cking technopath...." Greystoke said to himself. When he looked out from his hiding place down onto the floor of the UN chamber, his eyes filled with rage. Standing there in the middle of all the members of the United Nations was the Master of Technopathy himself.
"J1NX!" the Hunter said with a roar, standing up from his hiding place and into plain view of his adversary.
"That's right, old boy. It's me." J1NX said with a cocky smirk. "You see, all the members of the UN are going to die in less than one minute. You see, all I have to do is send a powerful electrical current through each microphone and BAM! Their brains are FRIED! That is..... if you can't STOP me before I do it...."
In that moment, the two individuals locked eyes fiercely. J1NX was looking up from the council floor while the Hunter was looking down from the balcony. What lasted only two seconds seemed like an eternity. It was as if both men were trying to call the bluff of the other.
Suddenly, J1NX began to twitch. Sure enough, that had to be J1NX making his move. Without taking any chances, the Greystoke Legend quickly pulled out an arrow, knocked it up in his bow, drew back, took steady aim, then let it loose all in the blink of an eye. He could only hope that the arrow struck J1NX dead before he could enact his sinister plan.
The modifications to the bow allowed the arrow to travel through the air like a bullet. However, just as the arrow was about to kill J1NX, the Master of Technopathy gave the Hunter an evil smile. At that moment, a UN councilwoman suddenly stood up from her chair and her body was placed in the path of the oncoming arrow.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" William cried out. However, before he could say another word, the arrow plunged into the back of the councilwoman. The force of the arrow sent her body flying forward like a rag doll then smashing hard onto the ground below.
Immediately, every member of the UN stopped what they were doing and froze in terror at the sight of the councilwoman's demise. Completely ignoring J1NX, security looked up towards the Hunter's position and called out a terrorist alert. Armed guards rushed in from all directions and swarmed around the members of Wolf Pack. With their weapons drawn, they opened fire upon them mercilessly.
"WHAT THE F#CK?!" William yelled out. "He's the one you want! It was HIM! Jesus, it was HIM! What the f....." Before he could even finish, several rounds from an M-16 whizzed past his head. Dodging them and ducking behind cover, he could see J1NX just standing there in the middle of all that chaos. With a smug look on his face, J1NX made eye contact with the Hunter, held up his middle finger, then walked off the scene.
"LONE WOLF ALPHA to WOLF PACK!" the Hunter yelled into his communicator. "Fall back! REPEAT. Fall back!"
Seeing a group of guards closing in on Talon, the Hunter sprang into action. Leaping over to her, the Greystoke Legend positioned himself between his daughter and the approaching guards, then let out a mighty roar. "Laura, get out of here!" he commanded. Just then, a round from one of the M-16's plunged into his torso. Roaring out in pain, Greystoke turned around only to be shot four more times by the approaching guards. Looking back to his daughter, he yelled. "I said get out of here NOW!" At that moment, another bullet pierced his side and he cried out in pain.
Having no other choice, he would have to resort to lethal tactics. Clenching his fists, the Hunter's adamantium claws came out and he let out a feral roar to his attackers. Gathering his strength, he then lunged into the fray. Instantly, his claws plunged through the body armor and into the chest of one of the guards. Spinning around, the Hunter then drove his claws directly through the skull of another guard.
Just then, six guards overwhelmed him and began to beat him down. As they stomped, hit, and beat the Greystoke Legend, they unleashed an animal. Letting out yet another feral roar, the Hunter's body suddenly shot up and his claws tore into the guards around him. Like an animal with its back against the wall, he allowed his instincts to take over. Mercilessly, Greystoke took down the guards that were pursuing him.
Once he was sure that his daughter had escaped, William ran directly for the nearest window and crashed through it in a dive. As his body fell down below, he twisted and flipped so that he landed gracefully on his feet. Without pause, he then followed the scents of his team so that they could regroup.
Back at the United Nations Headquarters, it seemed as if everything would fall through. Yet at the last minute, all Hell broke loose. As he trudged ahead without stopping, the Hunter's body began to "sweat out" the bullets and heal. In the blink of an eye, the world had just been plunged into chaos. Somehow, J1NX had set a trap and without a doubt, Wolf Pack would be implicated in this latest catastrophe. However, William did not have time to think about all that.
Calling out on his com-link, the Hunter tried desperately to find out if his team had escaped; or for that matter, if they were even alive....
