Miguel slowly opens his eyes and sees that he's in someone's basement, tied to a chair. Miguel tries moving but is unable to, aggressively growling like an animal.
"Don't bother. Aswangs are weak agains a stingray's poison mixed with regular spices such as garlic, salt, and pepper. Paralyzes them. Even Pantheon Hybrids."
"Listen, lady. I don't have any idea how you're capable of kidnapping me, but, motherfucker, when I get outta here, I'll maul the shit outta you."
"What happened to that idealistic boy the world once knew? Hm?" asked Musang, flicking the syringe as it makes a small spurt of strange supernatural pressurized bubbles sprinkling down the air due to its heaviness, each falling to the ground before making the ground shake. Musang slowly places the empty syringe into his wrist. "My employer asked me to torture you."
"For what?"
"To give us information. About... the password of a certain device..."
Miguel closes his eyes and mouths the words, "Fuck... No, that's the thing... I think you're pretty fucking uggo... Wearing that mask and stuff..."
"Little lambs trying to bray their way out of the slaughter..." Musang spoke monotonously. "Talk or I blow ya up."
"The password is BAPS1234B, EAT MY ASS!!!"
"The real password."
"Fuck off, bibingka bitch!!!"
She injects the air as bubbles began to boil and form around his blood, but unnaturally grows larger, blowing up his entire arm as he screams in horrific pain and anguish while blood and plasma splatters eveywhere, but a pressurized air bubble forcefield allows the blood to slide off her invisible shield.
Miguel screams and foams bubbles from his mouth.
His teeth morphs into fangs.
"Impressive. Those Octopus cells injected by the Pantheons into your ancestors turned you into masters of camouflage. If only you take advantage of that ability, Ibarra."
Miguel growls at her. "FUCKING... BITCH!!! RAAAAH!!! KRRYEEEEAAAH!!" Miguel immediately regenerates his arm. "HO... HOLY FUCK... AH!!! FUCK!!!" Miguel's arm shivers as an invisible hand-shaped bubble places his arm back into the braces that bind Miguel.
Miguel growls like an animal over and over.
"Ever wondered what happens to an Aswang whose brains get pumped in with 3 mililiters of highly pressurized air?"
"You're... an Usog User..." said Miguel.
"I trained in the art of the Eyes of Suffocation. AKA when turned into Kulam, it becomes the Choker's Eyes. It's not that common nor is it that rare. But my abilities have furthered to the point where I can place a whole room's worth of air into this little syringe."
"If Gerry were here-..."
"Yes, I've heard of your friend. Unwise to tell your friend's name to an enemy you barely know anything about. Just... some friendly advice... He'd die. Knowing what I am capable of..." She slowly places the syringe over his face.
Miguel growls and tries biting the syringe nearing his head.
"Ah, ah, ah. If it breaks and shatters, this whole place explodes and killing everyone in this convention center. Yes. Ongoing barangay meeting upstairs. Won't be a pretty look for your little family. Well, not me. I can create a shield, after all."
Miguel stares at her, hard.
She laughs. "And what are you doing?"
"Usog... Faith... RAAAAUGH!!!"
"Aw. Cute. He thinks he still has faith. Adorbs, honestly. Not quite right. No. You have no faith... No balls anymore. Pathetic, Miguel. Don't you know who I am?"
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
"You're Musang. Read your file in Reap's. You've killed tens of thousands of targets and tens of thousands of random kills throughout the Multiverse. Usually aged 17-29. Mostly young men. You have necrophilic tendencies and cannibalistic behaviors."
"Very good,' said Musang. "He DOES end up learning for once."
"Just saying. Damn this place is clean." Miguel observes her, seeing that she seems to be fixing her syringes exactly in place. She places objects neatly and tidy. Miguel takes advantage of this and acid spits on the wall, melting a portion of it. "Hey, bitch. Wanna clean that up?"
Musang sighs. "I don't care."
"Don't you? Look at how... unequal the tiles look... One brown spot? You ain't gonna patch that up...?"
She releases an air bubble and shatters the tiles of the area.
"Aw..." said Miguel, feeling his fingers twitch. "Look at all the dirty dirty dirt on the ground..." said Miguel. "Go on. Clean it. I won't judge."
"You're playing me."
"Doesn't make me wrong."
Musang's eye twitches. "FUCK!!!" She sniffs his foot and Miguel is weirded out. She proceeds to clean the dirt with a vacuum cleaner she brought with her.
Miguel sighs. "Gross..." Miguel is revealed to have been able to move his fingers, and his feet.
She disgustingly smells his feet again, only for him to break free and kick her in the face as she crashes into the wall.
Miguel growls, turning into an Aswang, breaking free of his binds and mauling her only for her to place air bubbles around him. Miguel closes the holes in his mouth and nose and headbutts her, knocking her out.
"Damn... foot fetishist... Cat Lady..."
Miguel falls to the ground, transforming back into a human, standing up with shaky legs.
She wakes up and tosses a syringe at him, causing some bubbles to boil in his blood. She keeps throwing syringes at him as he screams in pain as the bubbles pop and make him bleed.
"FUCK!!! FUCKING!!! DIE!!!" she growled as Miguel pins her down and slams her head into the wall over and over.
Miguel freezes her shoulder but she stops the ice, shattering it as she screams in pain feeling freezer burn. She headbutts him and high kicks his neck, puncturing a hole in it with her heels.
Miguel roars and regenerates.
Miguel activates rock shot and shoots at her over and over but she entraps each with an airbubble.
Miguel grabs the syringes and tries stabbing her with it but a hand-shaped airbubble slams him to the wall over and over, each entering his face's holes as he is forced to freeze the bubbles before blowing the liquidated oxygen out of his nose and beating her down with the frozen heavy oxygen gloves.
She sighs and beats him over and over, adding more syringes causing his blood to boil as he cools each bubble down with his Eyes of Ice.
Miguel growls and blocks her attacks as he creates a crystalized shield made of some sort of superheated and pressurized stone. He creates crystal claws and beats her down with it.
"How the hell are you able to use more than one Usog?" she asked.
"OPTIMISM, BITCH!!!" He beats her down over and over. She beats him down as he turns into smoke and enters her orifices before she pulls him out and traps him into a bubble.
He roars and turns his body into lightning to transfer into the lights.
"Fuck..." she said, limping up the stairs.
She takes out a syringe and tosses it at one of the barangay kagawads, but Miguel catches the syringe.
Miguel yells, "GO!!! EVERYONE GET OUT!!!" Miguel blocks her strikes and beats her over and over with his Thunder Fists over and over, only to nearly have his face blown up with the pressurized bubble, but it is revealed how he's able to cure himself, by returning the blood into his body and turning them into spikes that nearly stab her in the face if it weren't for her Pressurized Air Bubbles.
Miguel breaks free and so does she.
"Fuck... You're strong, kid," she sneered.
"You ain't so bad yourself, lady," smiled Miguel. "But you are a serial killer. Gotta kill you, heheh."
"Your eyes... they bare ones I see when I look into the mirror..."
Miguel's smile disappears. "Shut up. No, I don't."
She creates bomb bubbles that blow the now empty building up.
She sighs and walks clumsily, trying to escape the debris as Miguel lands before her.
"I ain't leaving until we capture you, bitch."
She prepares another pressure bubble.
"Son of a-... Dude... Just calm your horses..."
"Malapropisms. FUCK!!!"
"It's calle being 'rhetorical...'"
She blasts bubbles into his face that blow up but he tanks them.
Miguel growls and lands on his. He charges forward and blasts his foot into her face only for her to blast her pressure bubble into his nail, blowing it up.
Miguel roars like an animal having lost his hand. Miguel regenerates and creates more crystals and beats her over and over. "FUCK!!! FUCKING... DIE!!! RAUGH!!!"
She sighs and uses her nails to cut into his veins and she blows pressure bubbles into his veins that blow them up.
Miguel wraps his arm around her neck and pins her in her place, growling like an animal as he ticks his wings. "Krr... Krr.... KrryeeEAAAAAAH!!! KRYEAHOOO!!! KRRR... RAAAAAH!!!"
She smiles as Miguel's head explodes and falls to the ground...
His brains reform, Miguel slowly opening his eyes and seeing that he is back in his home.
Anna sighs and cleans him up. "You met her, didn't you? Musang."
"Uh huh..."
"Mmm... I can tell you didn't kill her."
"I didn't. Tch-..." he sighed. "She had way more resilience and resolve than any Marvel fan who either making a video that overly loves and/or hates a movie. Or a DC fan, or actually just a Batman fan, who hates No Way Home because he wants to be unique... like Batman. But he actually isn't and is very, very sad and lame."
"Are you describing Seth?"
"I might be describing Seth," said Miguel.
"Why do you still care?" sighed Anna.
"Because he dated Erica. YOU SAW HIM!!!"
Anna facepalms.
