The Best There Is

Twilight swerved her body to the side, dodging a fast swipe from the savage creature. The alicorn turned her head to shoot a beam of magic at him, knocking him back a little. She put a hoof to her chest, recalling the close call she had. But she felt a stinging pain on her side.

Spike gave it a closer inspection, "Oh man, Twi." the dragon gulped, putting a hand to her side, seeing it covered in tiny blotches of red. There were three scratches on her body. "He actually got a small hit on you. Doesn't look too bad." he turned around, with a noticeable scowl on his features.

"Spike, don't get close!" Twilight pleaded.

The monster huffed endlessly, awaiting the drake's actions. Spike inhaled for a second and let out a burst of flames, hoping that it would do something. He saw burn marks on the creature's body and he was still for a moment. "Alright. He should be out for a few." Spike sighed, wiping sweat off his head.

Pinkie gulped, raising a hoof, "Um... Spike?"

Said dragon turned his head, seeing the monster seemingly unharmed. He backed away in fright, his eyes wide. "W-What? What is that thing? How could he do that?"

The monster growled. It actually hissed a word, "Berserk... Wolverine..." was all it said.

Twilight tilted her head, "Wolverine?" she repeated.

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!" the feral Wolverine screamed, sticking his claws in the alicorn's direction. However before he could reach her, a rainbow blur managed to smack the clone's head, making him fall on his side for a second and creating a bruise, which cleared in a second, making him wipe the sore spot.

"Sorry about that, Twi!" Rainbow Dash called out, hovering next to the alicorn. "Any idea on what this creep is? He's got three claws and I'm kind of afraid to see what he'll do to them."

"H-He said Berserk Wolverine... I'm not sure what that means." Twilight studdered.

The cyan pegasus nodded, "Alright." she faced the fake Wolverine once again. "I have no clue who or what you are, but I don't take ponies hurting my friends kindly. So either back off, or I'm gonna have to teach ya a lesson!"

Beserk Wolverine snarled in response to Rainbow's threat, not scared in the slightest.

Rainbow Dash smacked her hooves together, "Looks like we're doin' things the hard way!"

Twilight, Spike and Pinkie stepped back as the fake Wolverine marched forward, a stomp with each step. Rainbow Dash narrowed her eyes at the sight of the feral being and waited to see what he would do next. There was no pattern, no reason for what he does.

"What should we do, Twilight?" Spike asked.

"We're not gonna sit out and let Rainbow Dash risk herself on her own." Twilight insisted, cringing at the stinging of her wounds. "We have to do something."

Pinkie raised a hoof, "I have an idea!"

The dragon nodded, "Alright. No time to explain! Just do it!"

Rainbow Dash circled around the Wolverine, unsure of how to attack. She just settled with punches and kicks while moving at superspeed to catch him off guard. The pegasus created a rainbow trail around the monster, showing just how fast she was moving. The Beserk Wolverine was caught in a small tornado as she moved.

The Wolverine clone roared at him getting knocked around by wind and unsheathed his claws again, aiming his hands in various directions hoping to catch something. After a few attempts, he felt his claws hit something at last.

Rainbow's side, right near the wing. The mare gagged and yelled at the feeling of metal digging into her. "A-Ah..." she groaned, "AAAAAAHHHHH!" she yelled out, keeling over from the pain and falling onto her hips.

"RAINBOW!" Twilight practically screamed. The alicorn ran over to her injured friend to check on the wounds. Luckily, she only noticed three holes that could be patched up. In the meantime, she needed to tend to the monster.

Pinkie pulled out her party cannon and struck the fake Wolverine with a legitimate cannon ball, launching him across the field, "Nopony hurts my friends like that!" she boasted, ready to aim a second one at the unknown monster.

The disgruntled Wolverine clone got right back up, any and all damage to him was healed thanks to his Healing Factor. He narrowed his gaze at the pink pony and lunged his two sets of claws after her, but Twilight leaped ahead, "NO!" she screamed, lighting her horn in a lavender aura as she dived in front of the Wolverine.

In an instant, the two vanished.

Twilight and the fake Wolverine reappeared in the middle of an empty forest. The fake Wolverine roared and brought his claws down upon Twilight, who dodged them. The alicorn sneered, using her wings to fly above him, but the pain from her wound, forced her to come back down to the ground, her cringing in response.

Wolverine smirked, ready to end her, but the princess attacked with a beam of magic, launching him into a tree. The burn wounds on the clone vanished with smoke surrounding his body. "Grrr..." he hissed, holding his neck.

The alicorn stepped back, staggering, blood continuing to drip from her side. She gritted her teeth, doing her best to hold off until she can teleport again. She was getting worn out from how she teleported herself and the monster away.

"GGRRRAAAAHHHH!"

The Wolverine clone screamed, punching Twilight, causing her to fall backwards. She coughed, panting, and staggering to stand on her hooves again.

"Y-You won't be maiming anypony for a while..." she muttered, finally mustering the energy to teleport right as Beserk Wolverine lunged after her, causing him to hit the ground.

Once he saw that she was gone, he screamed to the heavens. Annoyed that he did not get his kill.

Twilight reappeared in Ponyville, buckling down in pain. The first one to greet her was Spike, who rushed immediately to her side. "Twilight!" he screamed, kneeling down to check on his friend. "Oh man... You look tired."

"I-I'm fine, Spike..." the alicorn panted, "W-Where's Rainbow?"

"Pinkie took her to a hospital. Honestly, the wound didn't look too bad, she should be back on her hooves by tomorrow." he revealed, wiping some of the still wet blood from his friend. "Now, I gotta take you there, you need to get that patched up.

Nodding, Twilight slowly got to her hooves and leaned on Spike for support, the dragon wrapping an arm around her barrel to keep her standing.

"Sunova bitch."

Wolverine looked down. Lying on the floor were three dead ponies, limbs torn off, and blood covering the floor. He had arrived before the ponies did, taking a shortcut based on where his senses led him. He was not expecting this.

Kneeling down, Logan decided to investigate. "This ain't no ordinary murder. It was senseless. Violent. It was a massacre." he noticed, observing where and what position they died.

He looked at the wounds seen on their bodies, 'Three scratch marks?' he revealed his claws, looking at the size of the cuts, 'Almost identical. But how? I didn't know these horses. Is this who came here first? But that would mean...'

Wolverine shook his head, "No. It wasn't Victor. He's usually more thorough. And he wouldn't just do this."

Deciding he had no other option, the X-Man sniffed the air, 'Smells familiar and yet different. Kinda like... Weapon X. Fuck.' he thought, now pissed off. 'I gotta head to where it was before anyone else could get hurt.'

"Hey!"

Wolverine's thoughts were cut off by the voices. He saw the two ponies from earlier. Their eyes were wide and their fur was about to turn green from what they saw. "Y-You monster..." one of them muttered, tears running down their eyes."

'Shit. They think I did it. Gotta clear things up before things get outta hand.'

The man stood up, raising his hands. "Easy, bub. I didn't kill 'em. I already--" he couldn't finish his sentence, because he felt a burning sensation in his stomach. When he opened his eyes, he saw the unicorn's horn lit up. That meant the pony attacked him.

Wolverine cracked his knuckles and neck and he scowled, "Ya shouldn't have done that, bub. I tried to be civil."

"You killed them! You can't lie!" the other pony said.

'Can't really hurt 'em. They're grievin'. And since they're not listenin' to reason like dumbasses, looks like I'm gonna have to leave 'em in the dust.' Wolverine thought. 'Unless they piss me off.'

Wolverine felt another surge of magic on his stomach, 'Okay. They pissed me off.'
