Vulture stepped forward, his heavy vest torn, his face mapped with fresh soot from the reservoir lockdown. He held a silver object in his hands—not a crown of gold or jewels, but the heavy, reinforced steel sprocket of a Harley’s drive chain, polished until it shined like diamond, its edges sharp enough to draw blood.

Attached to it was the barbed head of a flail. Then, the bat creature's eyes turned blood-red as it swung the flail violently toward Wilbur.
