Far below the alley where three men in black are getting beat up by a highschooler and an accountant, a group of mutant rats scurry through the city sewers, each carrying a piece of meat the nearly the size of their head in their mouths. They are not bringing this haul back to the nest to feed their young, but following a very different kind of instinct, one that was drilled in their minds, instead of naturally evolving.
They will keep up the pace until reach the very edge between City K and the wilderness, when they will emerge from the pipes to enter hidden tunnels dug by MoleBadgers, leading into a forgotten nuclear bunker. Once inside, they will pass by hallways and rooms filled with strange instruments, cages, and animals on the to the heart of the facility: a rows of open vats filled with odd balls of flesh floating on an bubbling liquid, where they would drop the chunks they carried.
In a room overlooking this, sits a man dressed in a garish victorian clothes, intensely staring at creature that looks like a mixture between a fly and a bee resting in his palm. His expression slowly changes from a displeased frown to sly smile, until a sudden fury overtakes him, crushing the mutant insect with his gloved hand.
“The Kangaroo and Sloth mixture worked flawlessly, but the toucan’s worthless bird brain dragged everything down. It barely even used the beak! That was the only reason I added it!”
He slammed his arms on the desk
“And it was just standing in the middle of the road, doing nothing! Even though I ordered it to terrorize the city! If that meat head hadn’t charged in I wouldn’t have know how well the combination worked!”
He his hand up to his temple, massaging it slowly
“I trained the beast well, I always do. And if I starved it any more, it wouldn’t have any strength to put up a fight… I should just return to tigers and elephants.”
He got up from his chair in one motion
“No, I’ll never find the fittest survivalist by just matching the same types of animals. I’m sure I can still use birds… Perhaps a crow? Or a parrot? Yes, Yes! And add octopus and dolphin in as well! I’m a true visionary! Not like those fools with doctorate and white coats!”
He continued to pace through his office, excitedly thinking about his next monster, already forgetting of the effective parts of the previous one.
