Marvel: This is War

6: Team SOUND

"What the fuck is that?" Naruto screamed as he pulled back on the controls, making the Apache veer upwards as they exited the Helicarrier. Gliding towards them, with silver wings attached to either arm, was a red and black suited man. The man had a helm-like face-mask that was colored a dark red and his hair was shaved, allowing decorative flame tattoos to cover his scalp.

"I believe that is the latest Banshee," Shino mumbled, adjusting his targeting system to lock on heat signatures, "Dosu if I recall correctly. One of 'Hebi-sennin's little pet experiments, last I checked. He's a clone of the first Banshee."

"Really?" War asked, arching a blonde brow as his red eyes glowed with anger and he smiled maliciously, "Then let's see just how much of a rip-off he is. Can you fly this thing?"

"I can do better," Shino said, black bugs crawling over his skin from holes hidden under his clothes, "My bugs will fly for us. You worry about yourself."

"...Take care of her, Pest," War quietly said before he opened the cockpit and stood, allowing his red shroud to cover his body. The blonde pulled his right arm back before thrusting it forward, allowing a long tendril of red aura to branch out and latch onto a passing SOUND helicopter. War pushed off and brought himself to the copter while Pestilence's insects shut the cockpit and took control.

Pestilence noted a small piece of equipment was missing from the pilot's seat, and a smirk grew on his face before he flipped a switch and said, "You took the headset?"

"How else we gonna stay in contact, dumbass?" War shot back, "Get that chopper out of here-FUCK YOU!" a scream was heard in the background, followed by a large explosion that caught Pestilence's eye to his left. He watched as War leapt to another copter, and then listened as the mutant continued, "Get Famine out of here! First RV is that gas station thirty clicks west! Second RV is the Golden Gate, head there if I'm not at that station fifteen minutes after you arrive!"

"Famine won't like not having you around," Pestilence said, before swearing under his breath as Banshee made another swoop past and fired a sonic shriek at him, nearly hitting the blades. The Entopath had his bugs head to the treetops to avoid the following attack that would take place.

"Don't you think I know that?" War shot back over the comms, "Listen, if Famine goes berserk, call X. I repeat, call X! Radio silence! NOW!"

"Rodger that, War, engaging Radio silence. RV at the gas station thirty clicks," Pestilence muttered as he flipped the comms' switch off and headed fired several flares to redirect the missiles coming towards him. The teen's eyes widened behind his glasses when a black haired teen jumped up from the treetops and threw his arms out, his palms open and a grin on his face, before a sudden force hit the chopper in the tail.

War looked to his right as an explosion at the treetops came to his attention and he felt a faint ghost pain on his right arm. The blonde's red eyes narrowed in fury and he grit his teeth before returning his attention to the helicopter he was hijacking/crashing.

"You son of a bitch," War snarled, flying the chopper into the side of a carrier, but bailing out the left door and landing on the flying Banshee's back.

"AH! What the fuck!" Banshee exclaimed as War wrapped his arms around the bald teen's neck. War used his aura to cling onto the other mutant's back and moved to his knees. He bent forward before clutching Banshee's jaw and the back of his skull firmly in each hand.

"You're flying in a no-fly zone," the blonde snarled into his ear before snapping the clone's neck, "And I'm grounding you!"

War rode the corpse into the treetops before jumping onto a pine branch only twenty feet from the forest floor. Banshee's body flew past him and impacted into a boulder jutting up from the ground. War smirked and cracked his neck before jumping to the ground, dismissing his aura after he landed.

That could have ended better, Kyu muttered in his head, making Naruto silently agree with him. The AI continued with, Vision gave me a small upgrade. I can act as your heartbeat radar, rather than you having to focusing on that. Keeps our defense up and keeps you focused on your own drive.

Thanks, Naruto thought before making his way towards the place he saw the helicopter go down. As he neared the impact zone, a soft tune made itself known in his head. Naruto shook his head to try and clear it, but to no avail.

Picking up on several heartbeats, Kyu informed him, Keep your eyes open.

Naruto didn't respond, instead he stopped running and grabbed his head. The tune was getting louder. The blonde growled in annoyance and turned to the nearest tree, gripped the trunk with both hands, and drove his face into the bark with as much effort as he could. To his immediate relief, the tune stopped, but to his ire, laughter took its place.

"HA! Only way he could escape the song was to slam his face into that tree!" a male voice laughed out from the trees. Naruto spun around and kept his back to the trunk, to be sure he wouldn't be surrounded, before slowly calling his aura forward.

"Dude! He's like, all fucked up!" another voice laughed out, "Looks like someone finally broke your spell, Succubus!"

"Fuck you, Faggot-cocksucker!" a female's voice snapped, anger burning within it, "How was I supposed ta fucking know that dumbass would fucking slam his ugly ass-face into the fucking tree?"

"You shouldn't cuss so much, Succubus," a baritone voice most likely belonging to a male chided. A yelp echoed through the woods, making Naruto fight back a smirk, before the same voice said, "You also shouldn't hit me."

"Fuck you, Fatass!" the female snarled. Naruto closed his eyes and sniffed before covering his face and groaning.

OH DEAR GOD! The blonde thought as he fought the stench away, WHAT THE FUCK?

Jeez Kit, I thought you were bad after a burrito! Alright, got em, Kyu said, the AI sounding maliciously happy as it continued, a click north. One branch. Take em.

"Gladly," War growled, his eyes opening as he thrusted his two arms forward and sent large red fists into the trees. A crash was heard, followed by several exclamations from the four voices he had heard before. War smirked and brought his hands back, slightly dimming the intensity of his aura to keep his true strength hidden. He started to turn to run towards the forest when a large rock hit him in the side of the head and sent him flying into the woods.

Pestilence groaned as he sat up from the wreckage. He looked around and noted some dead bugs that sacrificed themselves for his and Sally's lives. The hooded teen tried to get to his feet but released a small cry of pain when he felt a stabbing burn in his right leg. Pestilence looked down to see a piece of shrapnel imbedded in his thigh, making him scowl in anger.

"Huh, he wasn't so tuff!" a voice said from his left. Pestilence looked over and scowled as he saw the teen that had caused his crash. He had spikey black hair and a face-mask similar to Banshee's, only his was grey instead of black or red. He had a black shirt with yellow writing on it, the words "Kill, Kill, Kill!" being visible through the thriller-esque writing. His pants were camouflaged printed, being the variations of the color grey and he wore combat boots.

"Cocky dumbass," a female said to the teen's right, making the injured hero look at her and estimate her to be near his age. She had long black hair and camouflaged pants similar to her counterpart, but she instead covered her torso with a greyish-green flak jacket, the sleeves being missing on her arms while black armbands were around her wrists. Around her head was a blue cloth with a metal plate, the symbolic single note in the dead center of the plate.

What had Pestilence concerned was the young girl in the female's arms. Sally was, thankfully, uninjured, but she had a pained look on her face as she remained unconscious. The hooded teen swore quietly under his breath before pushing himself to his feet, an audible grunt of pain coming from him as he stood on his injured leg.

"Oh yeah! I get to have some more fun!" the guy said with a grin, "Stay back, Kin, this loser is mine."

"Dumbass," Kin said with a shake of her head before looking at Pestilence with a smirk, "How's it fair? Two on one, not to mention he's got a piece of metal in his thigh."

"It's only a flesh wound," Pestilence calmly said, gripping the offending metal in his right hand before yanking it from his leg, groaning as he did so. The boy grinned.

"Oh, this is too easy," the boy said, stepping forward and holding one hand out, revealing a hole in his hand, "Just so you know, they call me Soundwave."

"Rip-off artist," Pestilence neutrally jibed, making the now named Soundwave scowl. He lifted his other hand and narrowed his eyes as a grin appeared on his face.

"For that, I'm gonna leave no evidence!" the mutant exclaimed, before an invisible force of energy shot from his hands and into Pestilence's stomach. The Entopath flew back several yards before his back connected with the trunk of a tree and he fell to his face on the ground.

"Come on, Soundwave," Kin said with exasperation in her voice, "Orochimaru-sama wants us back with this brat. We don't have time for this!"

"Yeah, yeah," Soundwave waved off her nagging, "Let me have some fun, will ya? Besides, we still have to wait for Banshee."

Pestilence growled as his broken glasses fell off his face and pushed himself to his hands and knees before slowly standing. He closed his eyes and lifted his left hand while his right covered the gaping hole on his thigh. He snapped his eyes open, revealing solid dark purple irises, before glaring at Soundwave.

"Looks like it's time to turn up the decibels!" Soundwave exclaimed with a grin as he opened his hands. Seeing this, Pestilence pointed his opponent and narrowed his eyes. Buzzing was heard around the clearing they were in and a black cloud flew at Soundwave. Said mutant yowled in pain as they entered into the holes in his hands, clogging his main attack.

"W-What the fuck? Get them out! Get out!" Soundwave yelled, opening his palms and aiming at Shino, "GET OUT!"

"I wouldn't fire, if I were you," Shino warned as the purple glow in his eyes vanished and they returned to their normal coal-black color, "I had them clog the tunnels in your arms, allowing no air to breach their plug. Thousands upon thousands of impregnated flies are in your arms, and if you try to force them out, you'll only hurt yourself, and they'll lay their eggs. If you survive your injuries, you'll slowly die as the maggots devour your body from within."

"S-Shit! Y-You're lying! I don't believe you!" Soundwave exclaimed, a maniacal smile on his face as he aimed his palms at the two girls on his left, "I'll...I'll kill them! I'll kill them if you don't get those maggots out!"

"Fool. I said it was pointless." Shino mumbled before standing and leaning back against the tree. He reached into his left pocket and pulled another pair of sunglasses out, placing them on his face before adjusting them and looking at the crazed mutant, "Give me the girl and I'll have the maggots out."

"NO! Fuck you, fuck this little bitch, and fuck Orochimaru-sama's order!" Soundwave shouted, pointing one hand at Shino and leaving the other on his shocked teammate and Sally, "EVERYONE DIES TODAY!"

"No," Pestilence said as a purple glow grew behind his sunglasses, "Just you."

Soundwave yelled in pain as he tried to fire, only to sever his arms at the elbow. His eyes rolled into his head and he fell to his knees before a single word left his mouth.

"Dammit..."

The body fell to the ground and Shino shook his head before groaning and grabbing his leg. As soon as he bent over, three strings wrapped around his body and bound him to the tree. The Entopath looked up with annoyance at the slightly blood covered Kin.

"Y-You stay there!" Kin ordered, shaking with fear as she slowly backed up, one hand outstretched towards him as the other arm cradled the unconscious Sally, "I-I...I mean it! Stay there!"

Where are you War? Shino thought as he reached out quietly to a family of praying mantis that were resting on the opposite side of the tree he was bound to.

"DAAAAYUM!" exclaimed a man with six arms as he dropped to the ground next to the bloody mess that was MK-36, "That son of a bitch got HIT!"

"Not a bad throw, Hiroshima," a white haired man with a second head sticking out of his back said, "Look at that impact wound...geez, too bad he's dead. He would have been fun to fight."

No sooner had the words left his mouth did Naruto snap his eyes open, revealing red irises in both eyes, before a grin appeared on his face, "Glad you think so, dumbass!"

He shot a fist up and drove it into the jaw of the two-headed man, sending him flying into the air. The other three around him leapt back, the six armed man leaping up to catch the two-headed man, and he stood. With a long crack from his neck and a roll of his shoulders, War lifted his aura-covered hands and interlocked the fingers before cracking his knuckles loudly. He grinned, revealing a bloody mouth, before reaching up to touch his healing wound. The four attackers watched with wide eyes as his head regenerated quickly, leaving only a very red blotch of blonde hair.

"That wasn't very nice," War chided with a scowl, "I was on my way to grandma's house! Now how will she get my delicious homemade cookies?"

"Cookies?" the large man parroted, his eyes going wide and a small drool appearing on his face. The redheaded girl with white horns protruding from her head elbowed the large man in his side.

"You fucking Fatass! Focus on killing that fucker!" she shouted. War glanced at her and groaned as Kyu made his less desirable side known.

HOT DAMN, look at that chest! The AI exclaimed. War shook his head and growled, his eyes locking on, Succubus, if he remembered correctly, before he formed more aura around him. She had a tan shirt over a black form fitting body armor shirt and brown cargo shorts with a purple rope holding her pants up. War recognized the rope on the other three and realized it must be their team thing.

"Succubus, women shouldn't cuss," the large man, Mount, chided, only to be stabbed in the leg by a wooden flute. Mount yowled in pain and grabbed his leg, looking at the girl with questioning eyes.

"Kill that fucker, and I might not do it again, Fatass!" Succubus snarled. Mount nodded and looked at War, narrowing his eyes as he punched a fist into an open palm. War's scowl turned into a smirk as he looked over the first of the four to step forward. He was large, muscled but fat, similar to Blob if War recalled the mutant correctly, and wore black running shorts under the purple rope as well as having only an orange small Mohawk on his head.

So, we get some names for these guys? War asked his AI, only to receive an annoyed growl. The blonde's frowning face returned and he thought, Then just warn me if they try to gang up on me.

Gotcha Kit.

"Orochimaru-sama ordered me to bring your corpse in," Mount said, walking forward before settling into a sumo-wrestler-esque stance across from him, "But I fight with honor. I am Mount, named after Mt. Fuji, for nothing can end my existence; not even time!"

"We'll see about that," War snarled, rushing forward and driving his fist into the large man's gut, making Mount's eyes bulge as his mouth dropped open into a silent scream. The blonde jumped back with a hand spring as Mount fell to his knees. War growled before rushing forward and jumping, grabbing the obese mutant's head and falling to his back, breaking the fragile cartilage kneecaps that were holding up his enormous body weight.

"GAAAAH!" Mount cried out in pain, "You son of a bitch! Goddamn motherfucker!"

War smirked as he got to his feet before kneeling and gripping the face of the large mutant. With the smirk planted on his face, he leaned forward and whispered, "Tell me something I don't know, blind asshole."

"What?" Mount questioned before War drove his thumbs into his eyes, gouging them out with a sinister smirk on his face. Mount cried out in pain and was luckily saved by the six armed man, who leapt at the blonde mutant, driving three shoulders into his back, and causing War to flip in midair before landing on both feet in a crouch, his hands clenched together.

"Mount! Oh shit, Mount are you alright?" the six-armed man asked, shaking the sobbing mutant as he held his face.

"He took my eyes! That son of a bitch took my eyes!" Mount exclaimed, pulling his hands away to reveal two bleeding holes in his head. The six-armed man clenched all of his fists and looked up at War with a glare. War smirked and held his hands up, wiggling his thumbs that had two red orbs on each tip.

"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind," the blonde said with a smirk before turning to the left to avoid the three punches (one from each hand) that the six armed man tried to hit him with as he appeared before the blonde. War smirked and twisted into a roundhouse kick, hitting the six-armed man in the back and sending him skidding along the ground, before flicking the two eyes off his fingers.

"Names first," said War as he crossed his arms, "They call me War. Who are you?"

"All you need to know is that I'm the one that's gonna knock that smile off your face!" the dark skinned man snarled before rushing towards War once again. War called upon his aura to form a large claw over his left arm, slicing upwards and cutting off the three hands that threatened to harm his person.

"FUCK!" the man swore as he skid along the ground before clenching his teeth as three more arms regenerated into existence. He smirked at the scowling blonde and said, "If you must know, they call me Man-spider."

"Lame," War noted, upsetting his opponent profoundly, "So far, the only name that seems right is Sucky over there."

"Oh that's it! This motherfucker is MINE!" Succubus exclaimed as she rushed into the fight, throwing her own punch War's way. War grinned as he caught it in his own hand.

"You know, we don't have to be enemies," War said, catching her other hand when she tried to punch him in the face, "In fact, I'd much rather be friends...with benefits, if you catch my drift."

Succubus' face went a shade pinker than normal and she growled before lifting her leg, nailing him in the groin. War yelped and released her hands, dropping to the ground and cupping himself.

"God...why?" the blonde asked as he rolled backwards to avoid a kick sent his way from the three armed man. He hopped back to his feet and leapt at Man-spider, driving his aura-coated shoulder into the dark skinned man's gut and making him grunt. War gripped the Man-Spider's face with a shrouded claw, snarling before he crushed the skull with his bare hand. War stood and looked at the two remaining SOUND mutants.

"Two down," War panted out, cracking his neck on both sides before grinning, "Two to go."

AN: Will War defeat his new enemies? And what about Pestilence? Will he be able to rescue Famine from Kin's clutches as well as break free? Guess you'll have to wait to find out!
