Disclaimer is here for kicks. Because I know yer not gonna look at it nor pay mind to it. .. Not for those under 18 but eh blah its yer call. Now on to the new rollercoaster ride into the depths of my twisted mind. Enjoy. ^_^

====================================================

Eight months passed since the incident of a viral outbreak in the small Russian town, Max was sitting silently in his chair in front of the fireplace the coffee table covered with papers and files.

Max slowly leaned back in his chair sighing deeply looking at his watch; 12:40am and the only thing he had on Viral CORP was where the funding was going, which was to a military base in Antarctica.

He reached for another file just as there was a knock on the front door, Max slowly stood up walking to the door opening it up seeing Tracy outside with his typical boyish grin as he held a black folder in one paw.

"I think I might have something you might like Max... its on Viral CORP. Seams that they have funding in Antarctica."

Max slowly looked at Tracy as he talked then smirked "I know that.".

Tracy then nodded " But did you know that a great number of there research teams are there and Sir Belier is also there so they say.?"

Max slowly shook his head walking to the kitchen "Now that I didn't know... come on in and I'll get you some coffee..".

Tracy nodded slightly as he stepped into the house closing the door behind him looking around, the house big, empty and silent besides the sound of the crackling fire and the sound of Max in the kitchen before he spoke up slowly "Nice place you have here...big.." he looked as Max stood not far away silently before he walked up handing Tracy the cup of coffee.

"Yeah it is.... However, the silence is kind of killing me... so many memories.. But it's what keeps me going." Max spoke softly as he sat down in his chair once more looking at the fire " I'm going to quit B.H.R.A.T...".

Tracy nearly choked on his coffee when he heard the way his old friend was talking before he blinked "Why Max? You are the best in there... maybe the only one who is not corrupted by money and greed... and also.....heh... you are always looking out for me... I won't last a second there with out ya there backing me up.".

Max smiled his first smile in months before he looked at Tracy " Okay... I'll stay and keep you out of trouble... I think we should head out to the Military base." he snickered looking to the fire slowly.

Tracy sat down on the couch watching, trying not to say something dumb which has happened a few times before he blinked "Oh I have something for you.. Hold on." and with that Tracy walked out of the house then came back a bit later with a large box handing it over to Max.

He looked up at Tracy before he took the box "What is it?" he watched as Tracy idly leaned from one side to the other, he was more of a kid than a Adult and it showed but his brilliant mind got him the jobs of piloting all kind of aircraft, using firearms, and he showed great skill in computer hacking and data gathering.

Tracy smiled "Go on open it.. I wanna see if you like it.".

Max then opened the box looking inside at a nickel-plated Smith & Weston Magnum X-frame 500 50.calaber revolver with a tactical laser and flashlight under the barrel along with a 3x9 -32 revolver scope on top of the gun.

Max stared at it silently for a bit before he grinned looking up at Tracy "Where did you find one of these?".

Tracy smiled softly "I had one of your friends in the Armory get it for me and tune it up for you. Do you like it?" he tilted his head as Max grinned.

"It's beautiful. This thing is like the bad ass of all magnum revolvers.".

Tracy nodded with a smile "We can leave later today if you want." he watched as Max looked over the revolver slowly before nodding, Tracy then smiled "Okay I'll be back to pick you up say....noon?".

Max nodded once more "Noon sharp.", Tracy then walked out of the house and went back to the base as Max then leaned back in his chair falling asleep.

He woke up at eleven thirty getting up from the chair and getting cleaned up then packed for his next mission stuffing his tactical vest in a duffle bag along with some grenades, his tactical 12gauge shotgun that was upgraded to be a double barrel pump, before he came across Veronicas gold plated double barreled .44 magnum revolver looking at it silently his reflection showing in the polished gold.

He then picked up the revolver slipping out both cylinders before he placed them back and placed it in its own case as a knock from the door caught his attention, he then walked to the door opening it seeing Tracy standing there.

"Ready Max?".

Max then nodded slightly as he picked up the bags walking out to the hummer setting the bags in the back before he got in leaning back in the seat as Tracy drove to the base, the ride was silent till Max looked over to Tracy "I want you to stay here.. You can take over the Intel and give me updates through the PDA and the radio. Okay?".

Tracy looked at him slightly before he sighed softly "Okay. Sides I know you're just trying to keep me safe right." Max then nodded some as he held up his paw "Always do bro." he looked at Tracy with a grin as they arrived at the base, Tracy parking the hummer in a jet hanger before getting out.

Max then got out of the hummer looking around as he suited up, slipping on the vest, strapping the Grenades to the vest, picking up the shotgun, and putting the .50cal revolver at his side.

He took one of the duffle bags out and slipped the strap over his shoulder as he turned around looking at a AV-8B Harrier 2 sitting on the runway being fueled up, Tracy slowly walked over looking at him "Its got duel fuel tanks and a light load of missiles so you should be able to get there and back if there's no trouble. But if ya get in a bind use the chaff." he smiled some as Max nodded slowly before Tracy spoke up slightly "You do know how to fly one of these right?".

Max looked at Tracy with a grin "Yeah I do." he then walked toward the jet tossing his bag in before he moved up to the cockpit sitting down behind the controls flipping a few switches and powering up the engines and taking off to the base.

The flight to the base wasn't so long do to the jet hitting mach 3, he looked around at the vast sea of white along the frozen ice shelf "God... this is hells freezer." He then looked to the side some seeing a black leather bomber jacket tucked between the chair, he then picked up the jacket slipping it on before he then landed the jet inside the hanger of the base.

He looked around slightly as he opened the cockpit standing up surveying his surroundings as he grabbed the duffle bag strapping on the gold plated 44. Magnum and slipping the shotgun onto his back as he stepped out onto the wing of the jet looking around once more before he looked up at the catwalk a few feet above him.

"Heh.. Seams the hydraulics are froze. I do hope this don't hamper my mission." he then jumped up grabbing the ladder climbing up to the walkway standing up slowly and walking to the door on the other side of the landing bay.

He checked the door slightly before he opened it up onto another walkway around a silo like chamber, his breath rising into the air slowly do to the cold, he then slowly walked along the path moving down a flight of stairs into a closed in hallway that T-ed off along the way, ice flaked on the walls from the cold.

"Seams some one forgot to pay the heater bill." he snickered softly as he took off his shotgun walking to the corner before he stepped around into the hallway with the gun aimed seeing nothing but a door at the end, he then slowly walked toward the door walking into a much larger room that housed the cargo lifts and conveyers.

He made a sweep of the room turning a corner spotting a worker down at the far end in front of a door its uniform ripped and stained with blood before a red dot formed on the back of its skull and soon exploded when a .50calaber round struck like a speeding truck.

He watched the body rag doll to the floor in a pool of blood as smoke cleared away from the barrel of the heavy revolver "I guess the virus is also here too hmm?" he slowly tilted his head as he walked to the door the worker once stood in front of.

Meanwhile in a fairly dark bunk room a young Husky laid in one of the not so messed up mangled mess of bunk beds after clearing the room for any threats, he was dressed in a pare of forest green camouflage pants, and a black t-shirt, a tactical Smith & Weston .40calaber handgun rested upon his chest.

He laid there silently before he opened his eyes sitting up yawning and stretching "Another day to try and live... I don't know how much more I can take and do before I die or turn into one of those things." he shivered slightly at the thought before he walked to the door packing away his last three clips of .40calaber hallow point rounds.

The young husky walked down the hall carefully, being well adapted for the cold he was not bothered by the lingering frost on his fur, his ice blue eyes scanning the darkness in front of him as he walked soon finding himself in the conveyer room that Max was in.

He noticed the freshly killed corpse on the floor walking over to it blinking when he noticed the mangled skull "Jesus what did that.. Looks like some one smacked him around with a hammer... though I doubt he would have felt it. Oh well." he pushed open the doors standing a good twenty feet behind Max.

Max heard the door behind him open and close before he spun around with his revolver aimed; in turn caused the husky behind him do the same before they both saw they was not in much danger besides the guns being pointed.

"Woah hey don't shoot. I'm not infected." the husky spoke in a frantic tone more less scared of being shot.

Max tilted his head some before he noticed something strange about the newcomer. "Derrick Marson.. Ex KGB soldier." Max spoke slowly as he lowered his gun, Derrick looked at him puzzled.

"How did you know my name and background?".

Max snickered softly "It's me...Max...We used to train together in the Russian snowfields. Remember?" he said softly as he slipped his revolver back into its holster as Derrick soon nodded.

"Yeah I remember you. You was the guy who took up for me back then....what happened to you ya just... disappeared last year.".

Max slowly shook his head some "It's a long story. A very long story." he then looked down to the floor some before he turned around walking away slowly when Derrick spoke once more.

"Hey... um how's your wife Veronica?".

He looked back slowly to Derrick "She died." He then kept walking slowly as Derrick fallowed him as he spoke once more.

"How did she die.. If I may ask.?"

Max kept walking on not wanting to look back to his old friend "She was turned into one of the bio weapons of VC.".

Derrick soon stopped dead in mid step before he hurried to catch up soon walking beside him "I'm sorry to hear that bro.... Well lets shut down VC and make them pay. Do this like old times eh?" he snickered softly as max nodded looking to him with a grin.

"Yeah just like old times.".

They both soon came up to a large metal door with a Halberd emblem over the lock, that had a gold Halberd already in the lock "Seams some one has taken care of opening this door for us huh?" Derrick looked back to Max slowly before he un-holstered his handgun while he reached for the handle.

Max then stopped him as he took out his revolver "You have a 40.calaber... all you'll do is piss off anything bigger than a virus carrier. Let me go first.." Max grinned before he then opened the door stepping into a armory that lead up to a escape platform up to a helipad.

"WOAH! I feel like a kid in a candy store here." Derrick snickered as he stocked up on spare clips and ammo before he turned looking over to Max before he spoke once more "C4? Think we can flatten this place?".

Max slowly turned around as he picked up some C4 and some remote Detonators placing them in his side pack "Yep...you've been here for some time... where is the vital structural points of this place?".

Derrick looked over to Max with a grin. "Give me part of that C4 and we can split up so we can finish this job twice as fast what do ya say?" he walked over slowly looking at Max.

He snickered slightly before he nodded "Okay... so where are the weak points?" he said while giving Derrick half of the C4.

Derrick stuffed the C4 away in his pants pocket "There are a total of four spots... one is the Conveyer room...another is the gas pipe control room.....uhhh.. The power room, and the last one is the basement waterworks.".

Max then turned around and walked down the hall "I'll take care of the Gas pipes, and the waterworks." he then disappeared down the corner as Derrick stood there smiling "Yep... that's the same ol Max.." he started walking making his way to the Conveyer room.

Derrick looked around slowly at all the machines in the room before he moved to one of the biggest ones that sat beside a structure that held up the floor above him, he kneeled down and placed a bit of C4 at the base of the structure and primed it.

"This should bring down the water from above...if Max can set off the water mains.." he then stood up slowly and walked on to the power room, his steps echoing through the hall before he stopped hearing a group of Virus carriers down the corner.

"Of all my rotten luck why do I have to deal with these nuts. God this nightmare will never end." he sighed inwardly as he stepped from around the corner taking aim then fired off three rounds, watching as the bodies fell to the floor like sacks of potatoes.

After walking a few hundred more feet he came up to the power room, he gripped the handle pushing down slowly stepping into the dark room carefully reaching for the lights just as something shuffled from the back of the room causing Derrick to stop in mid-reach drawing in a breath and holding it.

Soon a lone figure moved from the darkness dressed in a lab coat, blood stained and ripped but the movements were greater than the infected, more alive "Hold it right there." Derrick said firmly causing the figure to stop and slowly raise up its arms.

"Hold your fire....I'm unarmed...." spoke a soft shaky voice as the figure moved into what little light was around reviling a young wolf no more than out of his teens yet holding a 25 year-olds appearance.

"What's your name?" Derrick kept his weapon aimed at the lone wolf watching his every move, ready to fire if needed.

"My names Evan...I'm a lab technician here on this base." the wolf replied with his paws still raised, his brown fur stained with dried blood "I just want to go home now...this is all a bunch of shit.".

Derrick gave a nod "You and me both...come on we're gonna blow this joint." he moved to place the last bit of C4 upon another vital structure and set the remote.

"We?" Evan tilted his head slightly as he watched Derrick work before moving over tapping slightly on one of the broken machines.

"My good friend Max is here to help...he's out planting the rest of the C4 charges needed to bring down this whole base, burning all with it." Derrick looked up slowly then stood moving to the door slowly "Lets go find him, he may need help.".

"Right." Evan replied and fallowed behind him out of the power room and down the frost covered halls before he stopped at a door looking at it slightly "Hold up I got to get something I left behind when this place became crazy.".

Derrick stopped looking back slowly and made his way to the door pressing a button causing the door to slide open on invisible tracks opening up into a small lab, computers on the tables, a few shelves lined with test tubes and DNA samples.

"It's over here." Evan walked over to a locker looking at the padlock taking out a set of keys looking for the right one before a crash came from behind them near the rear of the room causing them both to look back as a creature moved along the floor and to the wall, crawling up along the wall and to the ceiling its body a blood red, five long four inch claws on its hands and feet, spines jetted out along its spine all the way down its body as it looked down at the two of them hissing softly nearly sounding like a moan.

"What in the hell is that thing? What ever is inside that locker you better get it quick as you can with out making this thing madder." Derrick spoke while he kept his gun trained on the figure above them watching as a clear slime dripped from its body, and mouth onto the floor...its long claws clicking along the rock as it gave a low growl tensing up its body getting ready to lunge at him.

"Almost got it." Evan said slowly still fumbling with the keys finally finding the right one and opened the lock, the sound of the lock giving way caused the creature to growl deeply before three shots echoed in the air causing the creature to fall to the floor as the rounds ripped into its shoulder.

The creature hit the floor on its back then rolled over crouching low to the ground hissing loudly at the sound of the locker being opened now then lunged at Derrick just as the sound of something electronic winding up before a bright light lit up the room, in that spit second a hole the size of a fist appeared in its chest sending it flying backwards into the wall with a bone shattering crunch leaving it on the floor in a pool of blood.

Derrick looked back slowly to see Evan holding a small gun the size of a stun gun with three small metal prongs on the front glowing green as soft silver blue smoke raised up form it "What in the hell is that kind of gun?" he tilted his head looking at it.

"This is my own make...a handheld Rail gun." Evan smiled proudly as he moved up to him pocketing away four clips for the gun "It fires small slivers of metal about one inch long and paper thin at a high velocity faster than the speed of light.".

"Heh seams that you know your stuff huh. Come on lets go." Derrick moved to the door looking at the dead creature stepping out into the hall walking to where Max would hopefully be, fallowed by Evan.

Max stood silently in the water works looking at the corpse of a female guard slumped up against the wall, she had been a beautiful vixen but now all that remained was blood stained white fur and exposed bone and muscle.

He stood there looking silently at the body remembering his late wife Veronica before he shook his head moving over to the body looking into the lifeless eyes that stared helpless at him with pain and fear, he then reached out slowly brushing his fingers over her eyes closing them softly "Rest in gods arms young one...your death isn't in vain." he spoke softly as he picked up the young vixens Bush-Master M17 Bull-pup assault rifle and a few clips before he moved back to the pumps setting the last charge on the pipes.

Soon a soft whirring sound came from above him causing him to look up before a soft beam of light hit him in the face stunning him slightly, it turned red emitting a siren...soon the door came crashing off the hinges and standing in the doorway was a jet black creature the size of a gorilla before it beat its chest roaring at him.

"Shit...not a hunter..." he growled taking aim with the assault rifle and opened fire, the .223 caliber rounds ripping into its chest sending out splashes of crimson along the wall and floor, the metal bolt pin near the back of the gun hammering hard kicking out each empty casing and loading in a fresh round, as the sound of brass hitting the metal pipes beside him sounded over the reoccurring gunshots.

Soon the hunter fell face first onto the floor as he reloaded before the sound of something heavy landing behind him causing him to spin around quickly only to be met with a large fist that slammed into his face sending him flying backwards and into the wall hard then to the floor sending up flakes of frost from the impact.

A second hunter stood where Max was roaring in a joyful way before it jumped off the pipes and charged at him while he struggled to get up...soon the hunter grabbed the back of his vest and slammed him into the wall once more and tossed him to the floor causing him to bounce like a rubber ball a few times as he slid to a stop against the dead vixen, while the ape like hunter acted upon joy jumping around in a imminent victory it was nearing.

Max glanced up with blood running down his muzzle noticing the large combat knife strapped at the vixens side, he then grabbed it and rolled onto his back as the hunter jumped on-top of him lunging down to bite him in the neck only to have the 12 inch dagger plunge into its chest causing it to reel back in surprise just as Max's boot found its gut kicking it off with amazing force using the momentum to roll backwards onto his feet taking out his .50caliber magnum and fired a round into its head watching as the hunter stopped moving, just standing there before it fell upon its back dead.

Max stood there panting hard holstering his magnum and limping his way over to the body taking out the dagger and slipped it slowly between his belt looking at the vixen once more, he had lost his knife in the gas pipe control room when he was trying to cut away a few obstructions "Thanks for the help Foxy." he bowed his head with a smile and walked away out of the room after sending a shotgun round into the spotter that had called in the hunters to deal with him, his pace slow due to a pain in his body from the brutal beating.

He soon met up with Derrick and Evan with a slight smile "All the C4 is placed?" he looked to the side and spat out some blood with a slight growl then looked to Evan "I don't know about you two but I'm ready to burn this place.".

"Yeah lets go...I want some real food for once." Derrick snickered as Evan gave a nod agreeing before the three of them made there way back to the jet hangers before Max looked to Derrick.

"The Harrier can only hold two...I'll go up to the helipad and see if there is a working chopper or a jet up there...you take Evan and head there..." he turned and walked away as Derrick took a step forward slightly.

"Max... Be careful...I don't want to take you home in a bag." he tilted his head slightly as Max smirked softly.

"Don't worry...I survived this long I can last the rest of this nightmare."

Derrick gave a nod and walked with Evan to the hanger as Max backtracked to the helipad...Max looked around finding two landing platforms and one held a Russian Kasatka Helicopter, he then made his way to the bridge that connected the two platforms getting to the chopper and starting it up, grinning as the rotors started to spin.

Soon a large tentacle came from no-where wrapping around his waist and jerking him from the pilot seat and tossing him backwards onto the first platform before it slammed down along the middle of the bridge busting out a good section of it, soon he heard foot-steps behind him causing him to look back slowly "Ah hell what now?".

A large man stood behind him dressed in a black trench coat, his skin pale and gray, his blue eyes locked on him carefully as Max stood up slowly then dodged back when a punch went for his face, stepping back taking a stance charging the person before him sending a roundhouse to his chest only to have his attack stopped in one large hand before he was sent flying backwards through the snow rolling backwards to his feet with a growl "Okay now you pissed me off!".

Max charged once more dodging a left hook from the person before he landed a hard right into his face watching as the figure stood there as if nothing happened before Max started his assault on his face with punches still with nothing happening as the Harrier appeared over head just as Max was slammed hard into the metal floor.

"Oh god...He's going up against Tyrant...this isn't good." Derrick watched as the fight continued looking at his watch, the seconds ticked away on the timers for the C4, he then looked back to the fight.

Max stood not far away taking aim with the Assault rifle and opened fire, the rounds hammering into Tyrants chest and face, pealing away flesh and bone with each shot before the Tyrant charged at him full force knocking the rifle from his paws before he grabbed Max by the neck lifting him up off his feet.

Max looked down into the eyes of Tyrant with a deep growl gripping his wrist with one paw and slamming punches into his face with his other, fighting to get free as his tail started to twitch wildly starting to black out before his eyes opened widely finding a new strength he never knew he had and slammed his fist into it jaw causing Tyrant to drop him as it stumbled back stunned, just as Max lunged at it slamming a punch into its chest knocking him to the ground.

Derrick blinked slightly "Holy shit....how the hell is he able to do that?!".

"He's THE Max Charger?.... Then the only way he is able to do that much damage is...Cybernetic implants and parts...if I remember right...his whole chest, arms, legs and half his face is cybernetic..." Evan looked up slightly tilting his head.

Derrick was speechless as he watched the fight carry on, hovering the jet above the platform carefully.

Max snarled stopping a punch in a single paw before stopping another bracing himself as he started to push the heavy Tyrant backwards along the platform before he growled deeply and with one swift movement he broke both of Tyrants arms like they were dry twigs then moved behind him grabbing him in a headlock keeping pressure before he broke his neck watching as the body rag dolled to the platform lifelessly.

He panted hard looking at the body then picked up the rifle walking to the bridge taking a running jump landing on the other side moving to the waiting chopper before he climbed in and lifted off looking down slightly before he joined Derrick and Evan on the way back home as the whole lab and base went up in flames and smoke.

( One Week Later )

Max sat silently in the living room looking at some files on his laptop just as Derrick and Tracy walked in both of them dressed in there uniforms before Derrick smirked.

"I got news for you Max...That Tyrant you fought at the base...was Belier himself... so that only means there is someone else pulling the strings and we don't know who...but I have a lead in Europe...and your brother Saber wanted to take the mission." Derrick smiled leaning to the side slightly putting his paws in his pockets.

Max looked over slowly "If that is true...I think I should take a look at there lab in Germany...my younger brother is going to go look at the one in Japan for me.".

Derrick blinked as Tracy spoke up "You mean Tempest...the mechanic hotshot who built NWCM (New World Cybernetic Military)?" he smiled softly.

Max gave a nod "Yes him. He is the best one for the lab in Japan...there more advanced and he can handle it on his own...I know. I have seen his work..." he raised his arm slightly clinching his fist.

Derrick gave a nod "Well we just wanted to come by and tell you that what is going on so...I do hope you feel better soon...with everyone working on this....Viral Corp will come crashing down soon..." he turned to walk away as Tracy fallowed.
