A/N: Since no one has reviewed capter six, I assume that everyone hated it but didn't want to say anything. Hopefully people like this one. Also, I recommend "Through My Eyes" by Voice4TheMute, its simply delightful, one of my fave Scott Pilgrim fics after "Young Neil VS Toronto" and "Ramona's Other Job".

11: 40 Pm Chaos Theatre, New York City, New York

Gideon was chillaxing in the bar of the Chaos Theatre (Product of GGG Heavy Industries) on a friday night, after filing some monetary forms and telling Matthew Patel of the plan coming on monday. He orded a gin and tonic and began to sip right when a guy came out from behind him.

"Hello, Gideon"

Lucas Lee
Age: 27
Rating: Pissed

"Oh! Hi Lucas!... What's -"

"Good. Listen, Ive heard from Ingram that we're attacking this guy named Scott Pilgrim, why did i not get any word from you about it?"

"What? I wouldn't do that to my favorite movie star. man"

"Well, you did. Whats wrong?"

"It's nothing, its-"

"It's because I don't have powers or ninja training, is it?"

"Bartender, more G&T please"

While Gideon was strugling with his words and having more to drink, he had to consider Lucas' statement. True, he did favor powers quite a bit. He loves his powers and the powers that anyone can posses, since it can beat hand to hand or weaponized combat nine days to sunday. Plus, for a man who got the most out of science just in high school, powers in people were truley unique to him.

"No... no, no. It's just.. I do like powers but I'm sorry for ignoring you. I do love your movies-"

"So what's the problem then?"

Godammit... OK careful dude, tread carefully. Just flattery won't help.

"It's because... I'm not sure how I can make this whole group work" He finally spat out. Maybe it was his G&T, but he felt like talking.

"What?"

Gideon took a long gulp of his G&T and proceeded on.

"Well, it all startedoutas Ramona straight up leaving me a coupl' weeks ago. Then y'all said ya got screwred with hertoo and and now i hafta get some dude snuffed out or this all goes to crap in a hat"

"Dude, you're slurring your words. Sure you should be drinking like this?" Lucas said without so much as a change in pitch of voice.

"Drinking witha frind helps outtalot" he replied. "Get me some drinks for me and my friend here!"

"Uhhh... Ok. I'll have a scotch on the rocks please"

The bartender gave the two their drinks and Lucas pressed on about Gideon' earlier comment.

"So, your're seriously gonna puss out on this "deal of a lifetime" you keep telling us?"

"No man, The formerflamesofflowerss just feels l-like it keeps drug-drug-dragging me off the deepend. I juzz wanna do this betweeen meandhim and get to Flowersss"

"No, no. You keep your promises man. Do you wanna be like her? Keep being a tease and you will"

"But its getting haard... my head makes no sense most times outta ten, its so... splitty"

"We, The Triple F, don't care. You gotta go full way on this. You're not alone Gideon"

"But what ifyou get hoit? I like you man, you-your-you're awesomeeeeee" Gideon said with much affection and patting Lucas' back.

"Oh. Thanks, man" He replied in a flattered tone.

"Maybbee if i git Patel to screw off and kill him then an... gawd i cant think'dd"

"Maybe we should get you home to sleep it of, G-Man"

"You sleepitoff!" gurgled Gideon as he made an effort to punch Lucas but eded up hitting another patron. That patron hit another patron, and soon a whole barfight broke out.

The Next Morning
9:00 Am

"Oh christ... what happened last night?" Gideon moaned.

"Same thing you did in chapter one, dude"

Gideon turned to the other side of his bedroom and saw Lucas freshening up in the private bathroom

"The fu-"

"I slept on the couch before you say anything that gets the age rating of this crap fic kicked up a notch. You were out like a light from all the drinks and the slight concussion of last night's barfight.

"Seriously?"

"Yup. Had to haul ass just to get to the exit"

Last Night

In the midst of the bar fight, more and more people were gaining up on Lucas for the fact that they were hammered out of their skulls and wanted to fight him just for being famous. Lucas, while holding Gideon, jumped back onto the bar and let one of the drunks hit himself on the counter. He jumped on top of another and roundhouse kicked the next drunkard in line. He had to use Gideon as a club to get threw four others
COMBO! X4
and again for five more.
COMBO! X5
Then, the big one. A rotund man came charging at him from the entrance. Lucas had no choice but to throw Gideon up to the ceiling to pull of a mega-move.

Lucas swept the legs of his opponent, then roundhoused him. But the guy caught the rh kick and punched him in the face. Lucas managed to use his other leg to hit him in the gut. The fat man almost squashed Lucas, but he managed to roll around. And then, Gideon came crashing down upon him

DRUNKEN COMA MISSILE! 400 POINTS!

The fat man than turned into a large amount of change (27.89 to be exact).

"... And that's what happened?" Enquired Gideon in awe.

"Yup" Lucas replied.

"My god, you really are the best actor I've ever-"

"Dude, you don't remeber the conversation last night?"

"Nope" he lied. He never liked looking to the past on anything relating to personal matters.

"Well, it was about the... League was it? Anyway you were saying you didn't want this to be dragging you down... You never really wanted this, did you?"

Giedon looked down to the floor.

"... Not cool. Not cool"

"My head's kinda screwy. Just feels like one day I wanna kill Pilgrim, but my brain keeps dragging me around, you know?"

Lucas couldn't really trust him now. Not after last night.

"What's to stop me from quitting and telling the others?"

"Please, no!"

"I will if you don't follow through"

"... Does this group really mean that much to you?" Gideon asked

"Well, for the first time in awhile, I can remake the past. She left me for some cocky pretty boy back in High School, a dillhole that became the bassist for one fo the hottest bands in the world. I want her to feel how I felt. I believe in you and this group"

Wow. People are depending on me?... Lucas is depending on me...

I just this gone. Gone and easily forgotten, Ramona's turned down a peg, the whole shebang. If Patel suceeds, you're gonna be ready for the next phase, the intervention?

"Yeah. But one thing though"

"Hmmm" mumbled Gideon.

"Why do we have to kill him? Couldn't we just beat him mercilessly? He could have a bastard kid around... you know, stuff like that"

"Is this a moral high-ground thing or are you just a pussy?" he replied sarcasticly.

"Piss off, man" Lucas said with a smirk. "I'm being serious"

"Well, try telling that to Roxie, she almost died" he replied in keeping track with his lie.

"Oh..."

"Yeah. Maybe we might not need to off him, let's just see if this goes well in Toronto. I told Patel that he'd go first to fight him. If Pilgrim goes down I promise to stop him and get him to bring him here. That ok?"

"... I guess its alright. Promise to be careful"

"Sure will. Don't tell the others just yet please"

Lucas agreed and with that he left. Gideon then booked a plane for the next day to Canada

Afterword: I'm really sorry for the delay, I wasn't really getting any new reviews so I wasn't sure to make this a dead fic or not. I really need feedback everyone, good or bad. Also I am aware that this is raking really long to get to the first evil ex fight and I feel like its like the Bayformers films so I apoligize again. Next one is where the plot starts to come up.
