"If Xaiver lives long enough to offer a partership..." Spider said with a frown, "Malice doesn't care who he kills, even if its other members of the Cartel. Because of that...he is wanted too."
"Heh...they just want to make more of me most likely..." a dry sadistic voice said.
Spider jumped and whirled around, looking up at his most hated enemy with a nasty scowl on his face.
Malice was just lounging in the tree, an evil grin on his face. Like Spider had said, he was blood red in color, with three rows of dark red spines running from the top of his head to his tail tip. Instead of yellow, his eyes were a flaming orange.
"How long..." Spider growled, his back arched.
"Just long enough to hear your 'oh I had a bad life' story..." Malice said with a chuckle, "You left out the bit about us being clones you know..."
Spider's growl got louder, "They didn' need ter know that..."
Malice laughed and jumped down from the tree. He was a little shorter then Spider...only about 6 1/2 feet tall at the shoulder. He circled the group, Spider followed him, keeping himself between him and Ali and Zander.
"Always protective of those weaker then yourself..." Malice chuckled. He stopped circling and frowned, "You could have been so much more if you weren't such a softy..."
"Can it..." Spider sneered, his body tense, ready for anything.
"That reminds me...thank you for sending some of those sligs my way...it is not often I get my dinner delievered." He laughed, then burped...his breath ranked of carrion. "'Cuse me..."
"Psycho...satanic...red freak!"
"Now now...you shouldn't call yourself such things..." Malice said and laughed.
Spider roared and slashed at him with his claws, but Malice dodged and leaped back up into a tree.
"Tisk tisk...temper temper..." Malice taunted, "I think I will leave you for now..." his face turned serious, "I have things in store for you Spider...so watch your back." He laughed again and disappeared.
Spider almost went after him...but he remembered Ali and Zandar at the last moment and restrained himself.
"Next time.." he muttered to himself, quietly...
Edit: ooc: no Mal didn't kill Xaiver...he just killed a couple of the unnamed sligs...just thought I'd clear that up...
