Chapter 10
Mother/Sons rescue mission Father/Daughters search mission part 3
"A new age? What do you mean by that?" asked Katana, poised to unsheathe her sword.
"And more importantly how are you alive? The last time I saw you, the original Regent Of the Mask double crossed you and pushed you into that egg. Then Ryu destroyed it and you at the same time." Mizuki stated, drawing her gun.
"Technology, of course. My DNA was still salvageable so it took time for the stunning body you see before you, to be completely reconstructed by top LOA scientist after that nasty incident, and here I am. Then I used the DNA of the Regent to create clones to capture Shinji Ikari. But unfortunately that plan failed, thanks to the Dragon Ninja." Lovelace explained.
"What did you want with my little brother?" Kagome demanded, pulling out an arrow from her quiver.
"What else? The power inside of him. The powers of a Star Guardian are said to be close to cosmic. And even though your dear brother's powers may have stabilized for now, that doesn't mean his powers can't be taken, cause they can."
"But they won't!" Kagome shot back, very tempted to fire at the woman.
"What are you planning to do with the Soul-taker sword?" Asked Katana, while Lovelace pulled out a couple of vials from her belt.
"I'm glad you asked that, because I wanted to take this time to explain my evil plan." Lovelace said nonchalantly tossing down the two glass vials, shattering them. The contents inside grew into man-sized mutant spider creatures, with razor sharp claws.
"Destroy Them!" Ordered Lovelace as the two spider mutants attacked. Katana and Kagome quickly retaliated while Mizuki faced off against Lovelace as she picked up the box containing the sword.
"You are not leaving with that sword Lovelace!" Mizuki said seriously pointing her gun at her.
"Yes, I am." Lovelace declared tossing down another vial filled with smoke making Mizuki cough.
It wasn't long before she came face to face with a man-sized wolf. Mizuki began firing off rounds as the beast charged her, allowing Lovelace to slip away.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
(Outside, the battle between Obaba, Ryu and Kikyo)
Kikyo was firing away with her stingers as she had run out of arrows awhile ago. Ryu was fighting close range, with one of Obaba's bladed spider legs. It wasn't long before Obaba spawned more spider demon ninja to aid her. The father and daughter duo quickly dispatched them, Obaba took that time to swat the Dragon Ninja away, knocking him into a nearby trench. Before Kikyo could react, Obaba grabbed her by the throat, lifted her up high and choked her.
"Foolish girl, don't you see? Once I gain the Soul-taker swords ability to drain souls, I will truly achieve eternal life and awesome power. And you can't stop that!" said Obaba increasing the pressure on the priestess neck.
"I...am Kikyo ..Daughter of Ryu .. and as long as there is life in my breast...I...am running out of things to say. Are you ready?" groaned Kikyo as she looked past the spider witch, who turned around and saw Ryu armed with Kikyo's bow and one remaining arrow. Ryu, having trained himself in the ways of spiritual energy manipulation, was able to channel his own unique spiritual energy into his daughter's arrow. The ninja took aim and fired, directly at Obaba. The spirit arrow took the form of a dragon, blasted the spider witch all the way into the forest until she could no longer be seen. Kikyo slowly made it back to her feet and faced her father as he returned the bow to his daughter.
"It's a little lighter than I'm used to." said Ryu, giving her back her bow.
"Well, if it weighs too much, you lose accuracy on the shot, so." Kikyo said waving her bow
Before Ryu could reply Lovelace came out with the box in hand only to run into the ninja and the priestess. Kikyo aimed her stingers and Ryu drew his blade aimed it at her throat.
"Going somewhere?" Ryu asked putting the blade to her throat as she titled her head back.
"Well, I was but.. oh I see you took down my partner. Meh she was a smelly old lady anyway. I didn't like her." Lovelace said nonchalantly.
"I'm sure the feeling was mutual. Now surrender the box and we might let you live." the ninja declared.
"I will not surrender! I will -" She stopped mid-sentence as the trio of Mizuki, Katana and Kagome stepped out of the entrance way, each looking a little worse-for-ware.
"You were saying?" asked Kikyo shoving her stingers in her face the same with Kagome aiming her arrow, Mizuki pointed her gun at her.
"I was saying... I'm going to surrender." said Lovelace, putting her hands up and dropping the box.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
(Southeast China with Storm and Shadow)
Storm and Shadow were searching high and low (with Storm flying and Shadow on the ground) for any sign of the X-Men, Mr. Sinister and his marauders, and possibly Umar. All she saw were signs of scorched Earth from above. Probably from Umar's evil magic or the X-Men and the Marauders battle, Storm deduced. Suddenly the communicator in her ear beeped
"This is Storm, go ahead!" the weather goddess said.
("Mom! It's Shadow! I think I might have found something.") the voice replied.
"What is it Shadow?" asked Storm.
("I found some remains of rock-like creatures. By the looks of it they were slashed up pretty good by someone with sharp claws. Anyone you know?") asked Shadow.
"Sounds like X-23's handiwork. She definitely takes after Wolverine, down to the letter. What do these rock like creatures look like Shadow?" she asked.
("Well, they look humanoid with one eye made up of rock and clay.")
"Mindless Ones. Extra dimensional beings created by dark magic. Umar must be controlling them. Try to find one and see if it'll lead you straight to Umar and Sinister and then stay put. I'll be there shortly." Storm said.
("Not hard to do, some stragglers just found me.") replied Shadow
"Shadow be careful!"
("I'll make this quick, Shadow out.") Shadow said cutting off communication
Storm merely grunted as she tapped her communicator to contact Shinji and Shigure. Before she could Storm felt herself become dizzy and disoriented, and soon fell to the ground. Storm wobbly got back to her feet and found herself in front a shapely green haired young woman wearing a wavy green swimsuit bodysuit.
"Vertigo. I should have known you would be here." Storm said regaining her balance shaking her head.
"You shouldn't have come here, X-Man." Vertigo stated poised to use her powers again.
"Where's your leader, Vertigo? Hiding as always while he sends his underlings to do his dirty work?" Questioned Storm snidely.
"Mr. Sinister is too busy to be bothered. Busy, about to achieve the next of level power by using your friends." said Vertigo making Storm's eyes turn white as lightning sparked from her hands.
"Tell me where they are! Now!" Storm demanded.
"Defeat us and you might get your wish." Vertigo said snapping her fingers and another one of Mr. Sinister's Marauders came out. A man with shoulder length white hair wearing a black bodysuit, a sadistic smile on his face. What's more is that he was accompanied by a group of Mindless Ones.
Storm stood fast and readied herself for battle.
"Riptide, try not to tear her into too many pieces. After all Mr. Sinister might want to experiment on her too." said Vertigo.
"No promises on that, Vertigo. Besides I want to see if she's really good at controlling the wind like they say she is." cackled Riptide creating small tornadoes in his palms.
"The winds of the Earth bow to me and now so will you!" Storm stated spreading her arms using her lightning to destroy at least few of the Mindless Ones then began her clash with The Marauders.
Storm let loose a fury of lightning bolts that blasted the ground between them before they started to moved towards her adversaries. The blasts knocked them off balance as the weather goddess pressed her attack. She quickly turned her attention to Vertigo, having already felt her power once, targeted her first. Summoning the powers of lightning from her hands she blasted Vertigo hard in the chest sending her flying off into the forest. Riptide, her cohort, powered up his mini-tornadoes and fired at her. Storm countered with mini-tornadoes of her own. The four tornadoes collided creating a larger tornado ripping away at everything in it's path and in the process creating a heavy windstorm. The force was strong enough to tear trees from the very Earth itself.
"Looks like we're evenly matched. But this party's only just begun!" exclaimed Riptide, laughing as he increased his power.
Storm merely grunted as she pushed back increasing the force of hers wind power. Then an idea came to her. She summoned the power of rain to shower down upon them both.
"Is that the best you can do? A little rain?" he taunted as the water soaked his suit.
"This is what I can do!" Storm replied shooting rapid bolts of lightning through the wind currents.
Riptide lessened his tornadoes to a degree, attempting to try and repel the lightning away from him, which unfortunately left him nearly wide open. Storm saw that and increased the power of her winds, kicking up some debris as Riptide tried to avoid them, but only succeeded in dodging some of it and not knowing he was leaving himself wide open. Summoning lightning from the sky to her hand Storm sent it his way, electrocuting the wind-manipulating mutant.
"ARGH!" Riptide Screamed in pain.
Storm was not done yet. She summoned a torrent of wind and blasted him with it, knocking him off his feet and slamming him into a nearby boulder, bringing Riptide to his knees as he fell forward. Storm floated down in front of him, her eyes still white.
"I told you the winds bow down to me and now so have... you." she stated emphatically as Riptide passed out.
She suddenly turned her head as she noticed a now conscious Vertigo also wet from her brief shower stumble out of the forest.
"He may bow, But I will -Ah!"
Vertigo didn't get to finish as she blasted into the air courtesy of a medium size tornado from the weather goddess.
"Be blown away," Storm quipped
Seeing that her skirmish was over Storm took to the air once again in search of her friends and her sons
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
(With Shadow)
Shadow with his trusty scythe was cutting through the Mindless horde like butter. He took the arm off one and sliced it down to the waist. Then chopped off the head of another coming from behind. Little did the boy know he was being watched with keen interest by a pair of sea green and red eyes.
"I can do this all day." Shadow said cutting another one down. Two more attacked, then three. Shadow made short work of them before he found himself alone on the battlefield. Shadow was miffed by that; it was clear he wanted more.
"Well, that was fun while it lasted." Shadow said aloud.
Suddenly, he felt a strange spike of energy coming from behind him. He turned around and saw another group of Mindless Ones marching like army ants in one specific direction towards the source.
"By all means, lead the way, Mindless drones." Shadow muttered as began leaping on the trees to avoid detection, also unaware that he too was being followed. It wasn't long before he reached a large old ruined Chinese temple where the mindless ones were gathering in the front of the entrance.
'What could those things be waiting for?' thought Shadow
It wasn't long before he got his answer. A shapely pale-skinned woman with long black hair, green eyes and green lips, wearing a form-fitting, long, open-chested dark green dress with chains wrapped around her left bicep emerged from within the temple.
'So that's Umar huh? She's kinda hot in, an evil sorceress way.' Thought Shadow seeing her move in the center of The Mindless Ones for some reason, then motioning with her hands for something.
That something happened to be several Mindless Ones pushing out stone slabs with people tied down to them. More specifically female people.
One was a tall, muscular yet shapely woman with red skin, yellow eyes and long black hair. She was wearing a black and purple swimsuit with black open-fingered gloves and black boots. She was known as Red She-Hulk, and had somehow been captured. But she wasn't the only one.
The second was a shapely woman with long red hair and blue eyes, wearing a yellow swimsuit leotard with matching gloves and boots. Her name was Frankie Raye, a.k.a. Nova, former herald of Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds.
The third one that Shadow recognized was a tiger-like woman with long with reddish brownish hair wearing a blue bikini. Her name was Tigra.
Two more Mindless Ones emerged from the temple with two more women.
One was petite girl with long blonde hair tied into pigtails. She was wearing a blue swimsuit/spandex outfit with hearts on her generous chest, she had white knee pads and was wearing long white boots and on her face was simple blue mask. All and all she looked like a pro wrestler. He didn't know why but he found her intriguing and attractive, not just because of the outfit.
The last one was another girl, with blue eyes long blonde hair tied in a ponytail wearing an a dark green swimsuit leotard green paint on her legs, with red armlets on her arms with black combat boots, and a red beret on her head. Shadow almost figured her for some mercenary or part of a delta squad.
'Now this is getting very interesting. What's the sorceress up to?' Shadow thought
"Let Red She-Hulk Go! Or Red She-Hulk Smash Puny Pale Skin Lady!" Shouted Red She-Hulk as she struggled against her bonds, to no avail.
Umar just walked up to the bound red gammazon and waved her hand over her head.
"Strange my magic was supposed to silence you, but instead it's reduced your intelligence to the level of that big green brute on the Avengers." Umar surmised. "No matter. You'll still serve as my personal instrument of destruction."
"What do you want us for?!" shouted the wrestler girl as she struggled against her bonds.
Umar glanced at her, then back to Red She-Hulk.
"To enslave you, of course. You five will be my warriors for the coming battle with Baron Mordo, my traitorous Ex-lover. " stated Umar venomously.
"You're enslaving us because your ex-boyfriend betrayed you? You're twisted lady!" spat the girl in the green swimsuit/leotard. She sounded like she had a British accent.
"It's more then that, ladies. I assure you. My goal is to conquer the Dark Dimension he currently resides in. As well as Earth itself and create a world of my own." said Umar, while someone came up to her from behind. A female to be exact, wearing a gold mask.
She had shoulder length dark hair, blue eyes that could be seen through the eyeslits of the mask, dressed in a stylish dark gray vest over a black bodysuit, armed with .475 Magnum she carried on her right hip, around her waist was a belt that housed a variety of gadgets.
"Ah, Madame Masque, how good of you join us at last. I must thank you again for your assistance in acquiring these women." Umar said.
"Some of them didn't make it easy. Especially Red She-Hulk. It took a lot of time, a lot of dead men, and now-destroyed containment tech to contain her." Masque said.
"Yes, and your efforts will be rewarded. Now then, what of the other unique individual, Sliver Claw was it? What of her whereabouts" asked Umar.
"Still missing since her scuffle with Sabertooth. I've got people out looking for her, but it's like she disappeared off the face of the Earth." Masque said.
"Well no matter, I have everything I need right here." Umar said using her powers to move her prisoners in a circle.
"What about your deal with Mister Sinister? Do you think he'll hold up his end of the bargain and deliver the other ones to you?" asked Masque.
"He had better, if he knows what is best for him. Pain becomes synonymous with punishment, and there will be no limits to the torment I will subject him to, should he betray me." Umar stated, getting into position in the center of the captured women.
Shadow watched in fascination as Umar began to levitate the slabs that held her prisoners to a vertical base and spread them out. She then proceeded to stand in front of blonde girl in the blue spandex. Umar's eyes proceeded to glow purple and streams of purple energy slithered out of her forehead and connected with the spandex girls forehead as she struggled. Then Umar shot out more streams to connect with the other prisoners.
Shadow watched awe struck as he saw what the sorceress was doing, and felt something come over him that left him in a bit of a trance. He was snapped out his trance by a voice.
"Don't just sit there! Do Something!" shouted a young voice that made Shadow jump.
"Who said that? Who are you?" asked Shadow looking around the area for the source of the voice.
"It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is that you save those women." said a smooth sultry voice.
Shadow just glanced back at the ceremony taking place then back to the source in the shadows.
"Well, we're waiting." spoke the young voice.
Shadow was confused but quickly dashed off the tree and shot towards Umar in the hopes he would be able to stop her plan. Umar, with Madame Masque watching, began to slowly take over the minds of her prisoners, soon to be turned-slaves. Umar began to laugh as she floated into the air.
"Yes, Yes I can see it! I Can Feel It! My Thoughts Are Their Thoughts! My Will Is Their Will! Yes!" Umar cackled, until...
Whoosh!
Something slammed into her knocking her down disrupting her connections to the female prisoners.
"What was that?!" shouted Umar looking around for what interrupted her.
Madame pulled out her gun and prepared herself. Umar's eyes glowed to find the interloper or interlopers. In ten seconds she found herself knocked down again and the source appeared before her.
"You didn't see that coming?" Shadow asked cockily walking past her as Umar was on the ground then dashed off again before Umar could get off a shot with her magic.
Shadow dashed off and knocked Madame Masque down and disarmed her.
" A pretty masked lady like you shouldn't carry a gun." Shadow joked before zipping off to free the unconscious prisoners.
Before he could several Mindless Ones popped up from the ground and surrounded him.
"I don't know who you are, boy. But you made a grave mistake in coming here." growled Umar as she got back to her feet, feeling humiliated by this boy.
"Allow, me introduce myself. I'm Shadow. Shadow Ikari and I say the mistake is yours in kidnapping in all these pretty girls just for revenge. And yeah, I mean Red She-Hulk too, she's very pretty." stated Shadow, folding his arms despite the fact he was surrounded.
Red She-Hulk heard that as she was regaining consciousness, as were the rest of the girls.
"Boy thinks Red She Hulk pretty? Not even Hulk say that." whispered Red She-Hulk.
"Who is that boy? He's cute." said the wrestler girl as she regained consciousness and seeing Shadow's standoff.
"What's a kid doing out here?" asked Nova still bound.
"A teenager has come to save me? Just great, and did he mean me too?" asked the girl with the single pigtail while whispering that last part.
"My minions will tear you limb from limb boy." said Umar
"In the words of a great man, I say this: Just Bring It!" replied Shadow as he got into a fighting stance as the Mindless Ones advanced on him.
Shadow smirked as he thought
'This should be fun.' thought Shadow as he leaped into the air and punched a Mindless One in the "eye" and brought it down. He then threw a wide spinning roundhouse kick knocking down three of them at once. The Mindless Ones shot beams of yellow light at him but Shadow dodged in a show-off style. Shadow countered with multiple chaos spears tearing through the dark creatures.
"All too easy." said Shadow as he looked at the prisoners and getting an idea.
Umar floated in the glaring at the boy. Her eye twitching slight.
"MASQUE GET HIM!" ordered Umar.
Madame Masque pulled out her gun and began firing multiple rounds at Shadow as he stood surprisingly still. Shadow closed his eyes as an aura surrounded him as his hair glowed a bright blue.
"Chaos Control!" he shouted as suddenly every living thing, plant, animal or whoever was in the area slowed to a crawl. Shadow was the only one still moving at a normal speed. He moved in front the bullets first and pointed them all into separate directions to keep them from hitting their intended target, namely: him. Next he moved the prisoner slabs out of position so Umar couldn't use them for the purpose she wanted, then freed each one. And lastly, he quickly disarmed Madame Masque by taking her belt. And as an added bonus he took off her mask.
Releasing his control, everything returned to normal speed. Madame Masque's bullets hit nothing but trees and rocks, but not Shadow.
"Wha...How did you do that?!" Masque exclaimed in shock not realizing her mask was taken.
"I have the ability to slow down and warp time." Shadow explained while Masque pointing her gun at him again as she growled
"Now I see the real you." he said, holding up her mask and making her eyes go wide.
"No, No! My beautiful face is exposed! What Have You Done?!" she exclaimed feeling her bare face exposed not seeing that the women she helped capture were free. Then felt a fist connect to her face courtesy of the girl in the green spandex.
"That's the least of your worries." She growled as she stood with Red She-Hulk, Nova, Tigra and the blonde wrestler girl as they proceeded to surround her.
"You know with the benefit of hindsight- Argh!" she screamed as Red She-Hulk grabbed her leg and flung her far into the forest.
The group of women then turned their attention to the sorceress, currently floating above them. She turned her head to look in another direction as she muttered something in an unknown language.
"Okay, before we deal with The Wicked Witch of the West reject, I need to ask who are you again?" the wrestler girl said directing the question to Shadow.
"My name is Shadow, Shadow Ikari. And you are?" he asked back.
"Mika, Rainbow Mika, the best female wrestler in the world!" She exclaimed proudly while the others did an anime style sweat dropping.
"If we're doing introductions, my name is Cammy White." the single pigtailed girl said.
"I'm Nova, it's nice to meet you." said the red-haired woman.
"I'm Tigra, the sexist feline around." purred the tiger-woman.
"Red She-Hulk need no introduction. Red She-Hulk just smash!" The red gammazon said
'I wonder what Umar did to her to make to her talk like that?' thought Shadow.
"Alright now we have all that out of the way, what do you say we take The Wicked Witch down? Sound good?" Shadow asked.
They all nodded in agreement. Before anyone knew it they were all hit with an odd pink dust covered energy wave. Strangely enough none of them were hurt, although the women felt very strange as unknowingly inhaled the substance.
"What was that?" asked Cammy feeling a bit dazed.
"I don't know but -" Tigra said but was suddenly interrupted.
Boom!
A large explosion from the west interrupted her train of thought.
"That's not good." Shadow said, then realizing that Umar had already left and was flying towards the explosion. "Anyone who wants to beat up on the pale-skin witch lady follow me!" Shadow said activating his hoover shoes taking off before the others could get in a word.
"What he said!" Nova answered firing up and taking off into the air.
"Red She-Hulk smash her first!" the red gammazon shouted going after Shadow.
"No, argument here." said Cammy following after them.
"Ditto" Tigra said also taking off.
"Hey wait up!" Shouted Rainbow Mika.
As they took off, two winged figures came out of the shadows. One with short purple hair and the other with long light green hair.
"It'll take time for the effects of my spell to kick in. Meaning it's time for step two." the green haired one.
"The Star Guardian, Sister?" asked the purple haired one
"Yes, the Star Guardian, but this will be different." the green-haired one replied, vanishing and the purple haired one followed suit.
(With Shinji and Shigure)
Shinji and his bodyguard were walking side-by-side in search of the X-Men. The two followed the trail of footsteps, massive footsteps to be exact, marching towards one of the smaller mountain areas of china. Shigure kept on full alert, seeing as they could be attacked at any given moment by Mr. Sinister and his followers. After a few minutes of following the trail they came upon a large very dark metal compound, which looked like an old factory of some sorts.
"What's a place like this doing out here in the forest?" questioned Shinji getting an eerie feeling from the building.
"I don't know, but do you feel the evil energy coming from this place?" asked Shigure
"The evil energy? Yes I can, I've never felt anything like this before" answered Shinji.
Suddenly sounds could be heard coming from inside going outside. The two sidled quietly around the side to see a white skinned man with black hair a diamond shaped mark on his forehead, dressed in a strange all-blue metallic attire with blue gloves and blue boots, a red band around his waist, a red diamond on his chest, with blue gloves and a shredded cape on his back.
But the thing that was most frightening about the man was his blood-red eyes. No iris at all, just pure red.
Just then, three more people came out behind him.
The first was a woman with short dark-purple hair with violet eyes, in a sliver bodysuit covering up most of her upper left side and leaving her upper right side open.
Another one was large muscular bald man, in a light blue bodysuit with a yellow line across his chest. He had spiked wrist bands on his arms and spiked boots on his feet.
The last one was a shapely young woman wearing a green Chinese cheogasm dress with a green dragon design, long brown hair, long green gloves on her arms, knee high boots and a green mask in front of her blue eyes. But she seemed to be in a trance of sorts.
Behind the quartet marched a horde of rock and clay-like creatures, wheeling out several large rectangle glass containers out. From what Shinji and Shigure could see there was bodies in there, but the glass was too blurry so they couldn't make out if they were alive or not.
"Be careful with that container, you Mindless drones! What's inside will be the next step in ultimate power!" Mr Sinister stated to the Mindless Ones.
"I'm surprised Umar the Sorceress agreed with your trade off and lent you control of her minions from the Dark Dimension. Someone like her is not easy to bargain with." the woman in the sliver bodysuit comment.
"Our deal is mutually beneficial for both of us, Arclight. But in the end she is only a means to an end." replied Sinister as the large man began to carry two out human sized clear circular containers. "Be careful with those containers Blockbuster. We don't want our sleeping guests to be disturbed." instructed Sinister.
"Right, boss." the large man said.
"Mr Sinister, what about the X-Men? Do you want them destroyed now?" asked Arclight.
Mr Sinister said nothing as he walked back into the building. There he observed the X-Men team, bound to the wall with thick steel cables and nullifers around their necks to neutralize their powers. Despite being strapped to the wall, they had iron cages placed around them.
Scott Summers, a.k.a. Cyclops. Emma Frost, The White Queen. Dr. Hank McCoy, a.k.a. The Beast. Piotr Rasputin, a.k.a. Colossus. Kitty Pryde, a.k.a. Shadowcat. And Laura Kinney, a.k.a. X-23, apparently the new Wolverine.
He stared at them for several seconds, contemplating what do with them. Finally he spoke.
"We'll keep them with us. They will make excellent test subjects, especially Cyclops and Ms Frost. Keep things in order here, Arclight, I must see to our other two acquisitions." said Sinister before he turned around and headed away from them, the girl in the cheogasm dress following him.
Meanwhile from their hiding place Shinji and Shigure could see the figures that were in the containers.
"Master Shinji, look!" said Shigure, getting Shinji's attention.
The first was a tanned skin teenage girl wearing a white skimpy bikini-like outfit, with short white hair. Her eyes were closed as if asleep, or unconscious. She had multi-colored ring bands around her neck, her wrists, her biceps, shins and ankles, and she was barefoot.
The next one was a wearing a dark blue form fitting blue Chinese dress covering her firm breasts and fishnet stockings over her muscular legs. She had long brown hair that was tied up in two buns her head, on her wrists were black spiked bands, and white boots on her feet. The strange thing about her was her skin. it was greyish black.
The third one contained a blue-skinned pale-browned haired young woman, in a yellow and orange Chinese priestess outfit with very long sleeves and matching hat on her head.
The fourth one housed what appeared to be a woman with a shapely figure, long blue hair, wearing a white skimpy outfit. However, the strange thing about her was that her hands and feet looked like cat paws, and she even had cat ears on her head and a tail. For some they thought of her as some type of cat girl
The fifth one contained a shapely woman with long red hair wearing a red skin tight like outfit with a blue sash around her waist and knee high boots.
The last one was a sexy blonde haired woman dressed in a similar skintight red and black outfit with an eight point star on her well endowed chest. She had a black mask over her closed eyes, black gloves that went from her hands to her elbows, black boots with a trim that came up almost to her knees. Her long, shapely legs were exposed, small red scarf behind her.
Out of them all Shinji found himself staring at her in awe her despite she may have been older then him.
Little did he know that was about to change.
"We need to move in quietly, to free the X-Men first Master Shinji." Shigure whispered as she went around the row of stacked-up steel crates, towards the building while try to be as stealthy as possible to avoid detection from Sinister and his crew.
Blockbuster was moving more heavy science equipment, while Arclight was setting it up. The two slinked inside slowly. They moved behind more metal crates toward the X-Men. The first one they reached was Beast, the blue furred mutant scientist currently strung up and unconscious. Shigure used her sword to reach through the bars careful not to make a sound to nudge him awake. After a few nudges the mutant scientist awoke.
"Oh! I'm up, I'm up." groaned Beast looking around his surroundings and remembered he was a prisoner, along with his friends. He then looked down to see who had awoken him.
"I take it you are to be my rescuers this evening?" whispered Beast at Shigure who nodded.
"Yes, Mr Beast. My name is Shinji Ikari and this Shigure Kosaka. I'm..." Shinji started to say.
"One of Storm's sons correct?" Beast finished for him.
"Yes, sir, I am. How did you and the other X-Men get captured?" Shinji asked.
Beast sighed and began his explanation.
"We received Intel that Mr Sinister and his Marauders had gotten their hands on something...well not of this planet. Originally we were trying to free another mutant under Sinister's control, her name is Chimera, an extremely powerful mutant. When we arrived here we saw Sinister meeting with Umar, a powerful sorceress from another dimension. In exchange for specially enhanced people or people with special abilities and/or skills, they agreed to a deal." Beast explained.
"So your team fought Sinister and his Marauders, then Umar gave them a hand and eventually overpowered you." Shigure replied putting the pieces together while Beast nodded.
"Yes, but there's one more thing we've also discovered. That Sinister captured two other mutants by the names of Blink and Feral." Beast explained.
"So we'll need rescue them too. Alright but first let's get you -Arghhh!" Shigure cried out in pain as she was hit by a sudden wave of energy.
Shinji and Beast gasped when they looked back and saw Arclight standing behind them with Blockbuster joining her.
"I knew I smelled a couple of rats sneak in here. And trying to free the X-Men no less." Arclight sneered.
Shigure got back to her feet and stood beside Shinji as he unsheathed his sword.
"You sure you should be playing with that, kid? You could hurt yourself waving that thing around." chuckled Arclight.
Shigure sliently took out two shrunken throwing stars. But instead of tossing them at the two obstacles that stood before them, she threw them at the prison cell console holding the blue furred mutant. Beast grunted as he flexed his muscles, breaking free of his metal restraints.
"Arigato, Ms. Kosaka." Beast said rubbing his wrists as he removed the cage around his body.
"I will deal the woman. Can you contend with the big one. Mr Beast?" asked Shigure.
"Why of course, and you my boy? If you are skilled with that sword can you use it to free the rest of the X-Men?" Beast said to Shinji who nodded.
"Yes, sir, I can " the boy answered
"Please, call me Hank, son. Or Beast, or Dr. McCoy, whichever one you're comfortable with." Beast replied now turning his attention to Blockbuster.
Without a word or warning Blockbuster charged forth at Beast. He responded in kind and began to jump around, battling it out with the muscled mutant for the Marauders, leaping around to avoid being hit as he punched and kicked at the brute. Meanwhile, Arclight focused her attention on Shinji as Shigure prepared to attack. Shigure struck first by tossing kunai knives at the violet haired woman and cutting through the sleeves of her suit to her skin, drawing blood. Arclight looked on in absolute shock. She made her bleed! A mere human made a mutant powerhouse like her bleed!
"I'm known as the maiden of weapons, for a reason, and now you're going to know too." Shigure said drawing her own sword and prepared to fight. "Master Shinji, you go free the X-Men. I will deal with her."
"Right. I'm going."
Before Arclight could stop him, Shinji's bodyguard struck again with quickness of a viper cutting attempting to cut through her suit again while the mutant jumped back having no weapon of her own. Right then and there the fight was on.
Meanwhile, Shinji was rushing to the nearest holding cell, to his luck he reached the X-Men leader Cyclops first. Shinji quickly set to work on freeing him by powering down the nullifers and released his retraints causing him to wake up.
"Ugh. Oh my head! What happened? Who are you?" asked Cyclops shaking his head to get a better look at Shinji.
"My name is Shinji Ikari, sir. I came here with my mother Storm to help you and your team." Shinji explained.
"Your mother? You're Storm's kid? Where is she now?" asked Cyclops.
"I don't know. Myself and my uh ...bodyguard were separated from her and my brother to find you." he said.
"She'll find us, she's an excellent tracker. And thanks for your help, now we need to free the others and stop Sinister." said Cyclops going near one the other cells that held the metal-changing mutant Colossus and releasing him from his bonds which caused him to wake up.
"You have my thanks, my friend. But who is this boy and why he carry sword?" Colossus asked.
"I'm wondering that too. But explanations can wait til later. We have work to do. You two go free the others. I'm going after Sinister." said Cyclops. only to hear an evil laugh echo through the large building.
"No need, Mr Summers. I'm right here. I was wondering what the commotion was about. Imagine my surprise that you've been freed, even before I begun my experiments. On your fellow mutants." said Sinister appearing with the red haired woman by his side.
"You won't have it your way this time, Sinister." Cyclops growled powering up his optics.
"What makes you think you can me? Stop evolutionary progress in general?" Sinister asked.
"I'm not here to stop that. I'm here to stop you!" Shouted Cyclops firing his optic blasts at Sinister sending him through the wall to the outside.
Shinji and Colossus went to free the remaining X-Men. The Russian mutant went to free his girlfriend, Shadowcat, and Shinji quickly freed Emma Frost who was awoken by her lover blasting Mr. Sinister through the wall.
"What's going on-? Oh I remember now! We were ambushed upon our arrival here." said Emma. Looking at Shinji she automatically scanned the boy's mind and learned he was one of Storm's kids, her youngest boy.
Shinji then switched off the console, setting her free.
"Thank you Shinji, thoses restraints were really chaffing my wrists." Emma said rubbing her gloved wrist with her other hand.
"How did you know my name?" Shinji asked her in surprise.
"I'm a psychic. Now be a dear and free Wolverine, and be careful, she might be a little hostile when she wakes up." Emma explained.
'I hope she's isn't like Asuka.' thought Shinji.
Of course Emma picked up on it, due to her mental scan, and merely smiled.
"Don't worry, she isn't. She can be quite nice once you get to know her." Emma said making Shinji's eyes widened in shock.
"Did you just -" he asked.
"Yes, I did " she answered
"You really need to stop doing that, Frost, it freaks normal humans out." Shadowcat said walking with her boyfriend Colossus.
"Ah, but you see, this boy isn't entirely human. He's Storm's boy. The Star Guardian." Emma said with a smile.
"Oh! You are Storm's young one? I thought you would be taller and broodier, or is that her oldest one?" Colossus asked.
"That's my brother, Shadow, Mr Colossus." Shinji answered the large Russian mutant.
"Okay, now that we've been throughly introduced, the others need our help let's go!" Emma ordered
The three X-Men took off to help Cyclops and Beast while Shinji went to go free Wolverine.
Meanwhile Shigure was still fighting it out with Arclight, and holding her own against the mutant. Arclight was using her shockwaves to try and knock the ninja woman into the wall, but Shigure just kept dodging them with her impressive god-like agility.
"Stand still and let me shoot you!" exclaimed Arclight as she kept firing her shockwaves.
Shigure, unsheathing her sword, jumped high into the air and and effortlessly cut down a large pipe hanging above Arclight and landed behind her as she sheathed her sword.
"You think you can stop us?" Arclight asked as she turned around to face Shigure. "You'll never – Argh!-" Arclight cried out as the pipe fell on her, knocking her unconscious.
"Never what? you didn't finish" Shigure said to the mutant's downed form.
She then looked to Shinji who was in the process freeing the female Wolverine. It took about ten minutes being that her restraints were more numerous than the other X-Men's. The boy eventually succeeded in setting her free. As she dropped down Shinji took in her shapely form clad in a yellow and blue spandex, black gloves and boots, her belt having a red X in the middle of the buckle. The female Wolverine suddenly came to, saw Shinji, and lunged at him immediately pining him to the ground with her claws out.
"Who in the hell are you?" she asked with a snarl pointing her claws at him, only to feel a blade on her neck.
"I must ask you to release my master. His mother Storm would be quiet upset if you suddenly killed him." Shigure said in a monotone voice.
"You're Storm's boy? Sorry kid, it's been a very rough night, " said Wolverine as she helped Shinji up.
"It's alright. If you want someone to hit, Beast could use your help with that large man." said Shinji causing her to smirk.
"I like sound of that." said Wolverine, unsheathing her claws and going striaght after Blockbuster and Beast.
"Hmm... Interesting girl." commented Shigure.
"She's just really excited." replied Shinji seeing her stab Blockbuster in the back with her claws causing him to yell out in pain.
A few Mindless Ones appeared from the far side of the room where Mr. Sinister was working and marched out in a single file to face Shinji and Shigure.
"Master Shinji it's now time to put what I taught you to the test."said Shigure unsheathing her own sword and Shinji did the same. The two rushed forward and proceeded to hack them to pieces, Shinji stabbed one through it's "eye" and cut the arm, then headed off to fight another one. Shigure cleaved through three of them at the waist all at once. Shinji took care of the remaining few and they went down with ease. Shinji went into the room the Mindless Ones had come out of, and gasped when he saw what was inside.
There, inside the room, in large test tubes, were two other female mutants next to smaller tubes filled with pink and white gases. The first one was about 5'5", her hair was a dazzling magenta, she had pink skin, pointed ears, facial tatoos and her eyes were closed. She was wearing a green dress with matching green sleeves on both arms with short matching boots, a belt around her waist and a collar around her neck. The next one looked like a humaniod cat with wild hair and orange fur. She was wearing a strange near revealing red/pink dress with matching gloves.
"These must be the two mutants Sinister was trying to experiment on." said Shinji as he went inside the room and stopped in front of the large control panel.
"We must free them." Shigure said simply.
Before either of them could make a move they were nearly hit by a green energy blast that hit the wall. They looked to see it was the woman in the green dress. She said nothing but created large snakes out of green energy constructs and sicked them on Shinji and Shigure.
Meanwhile, Cyclops was still battling Mr Sinister. Sinister was firing bolts of energy from his hands that collided with the red optical energy from Cyclops eyes. It seemed they were testing each others strength as they continued firing at each other. Cyclops canceled his out and rolled out of the way of Sinister's blasts. The X-Men leader glanced at the clear crate that the Mindless Ones were guarding. Sinister noticed this and smirked
"You know what's in that crate? The next step in power and that terrfies you." the altered human said.
"I wouldn't call it a comfort." Cyclops murmured blasting away at Sinister again who rasied an energy shield. Then countered with blasts of his own.
The other X-Men were holding out well against the Mindless ones. Wolverine and Beast were working in tandum to take down the giant sized Blockbuster. She slashing at his back while Beast was punching and kicking away at his face.
Emma Frost was sending out waves of telepathic energy to bring the dark creatures down, which was slightly difficult since they didn't have minds of their own. However, Umar's spell managed to control them, so all Emma had to do was find the right wave length and she could control them. Or at least knock them out.
Colossus was fighting in a one-on-two against the Mindless Ones, while Shadowcat was literally running though the dark creatures avoiding their attacks while making her way to the glass crate.
Sinister noticed her going for the crates and lashed out with his own energy bolt.
"Leave that alone!" exclaimed Sinister firing an energy blast at her, and catching her by surprise, knocking Shadowcat into the equipment.
"Argh!" she cried out in pain.
"You can't win, Mr Summers. You must understand that. Even with that pale imatation of the original Wolverine, you are and always will be outclassed." Sinister laughed.
Before Cyclops could reply, Umar the dark sorceress and Mr Sinister's partner made her presence known as she floated down next him
"Umar, why are you here? Did something go wrong on your end?" he asked the sorceress.
"Unfortunately, yes. I was interuppted by a cocky little upstart brat! He freed my prisoners and disrupted my plans " she spat.
"Who? Another young mutant?" he asked.
He got his answer when he felt a big kick connect to his face sending him to the ground . The cause of it appeared right next to the X-Men leader who happened to be the same one Umar described.
Shadow Ikari.
"You're not getting sleepy are you?" Shadow asked Cyclops.
"No, I was just resting my eyes." he replied back sarcastically.
"Good, you deal with these two, I gotta check on my baby brother." Shadow said.
Before he could go he was bounded by a green energy construct.
"You're not going anywhere, brat! You will pay for what you've done, with your life!" Umar shouted.
However, Shadow he just smirked.
"We all pay sooner or later. But for you lady it'll be in a second." Shadow said looking to her left.
Umar looked confused for a moment, right before she was forcibly tackled to the ground by an angry Red She-Hulk. Shadow felt the constructs dissipate before he sped off to help his brother. Umar felt herself be surrounded by the women she had captured. She looked little more then annoyed instead of angry
"You are all mere children to me. And that's what you'll be!" exclaimed Umar sending out waves of power affecting all those around her.
Shinji and Shigure were cutting through the hordes of green energy creatures created by the red haired girl. Shigure thought to end this quick using the same method she used to defeat Arclight. Taking out her remaining shuriken throwing stars she threw them at the nearest pipe cutting it letting loose the steam inside temporarily blinding the woman. Shigure took the opportunity to cut the metal pipe hanging over head down. It came crashing right down on top of the woman's head knocking her out.
"Whoever this woman, is I don't think she attacked us willingly." Shinji said looking at her downed form.
"What makes you say that?" asked Shigure.
"The way she looked, her eyes had blank stare. Like she was hypnotized." he said
"Whatever the case she's incapacitated now. We need to help the X-Men." she replied as Shadow zipped in.
"Shadow, where's mom?" Shinji asked to only to get his answer in the form of thunder and lightning booming furiously, in the skies.
"Right up there." Shadow answered tonelessy then noticed Umar using her magic on the women Shadow freed. It seemed to be doing something to them He sped off to break them free.
Meanwhile, Storm levitated herself down as the X-Men began lining up around her.
Colossus, Shadowcat, Emma Frost, Cyclops, Storm, Beast and Wolverine all stood in a
"Welcome to the party, Storm. It's good to see you again. How's the family?" asked Shadowcat.
"It's good to see you too, Kitty, and my family is doing well, thank you for asking." Storm replied.
Any further conversation was interuppted when a bright green energy wave came over them. They turned a saw that it was Umar flexing her power over Red She Hulk and the other five girls causing them to convulse in pain, but something else was taking place.
They were changing.
"Ahh!" the six cried out in pain as they were engulfed in a green aura
"What's happening to us?!" shouted Nova feeling herself change.
Umar just cackled evilly delighting in their pain. Then suddenly felt a fist connect to her cheek, courtesty of Shadow Ikari delivering a Roman Regins-style Superman punch knocking her down and causing her energy wave spell to disperse, only for a stray beam to hit the containment pods.
But the damage was done. The six young women were now changed...into teenagers!
They each looked at themselves and gasped.
"Red She Hulk feel shorter." the red gammazon groaned.
"Oh my god! I'm a teenager again!" cried Mika.
"Oh great. I've already gone through purberty once already. Now I have to go over it again?" groaned Cammy looking over herself feeling she got a bit shorter then before.
"This is a nightmare!" whined Nova seeing that her hair had got shorter.
"Huh? Look at that. I'm still good!" said Tigra looking at herself.
While this was taking place, the reformed X-Men began to battle it out with Sinister, the Mindless Ones and his one remaining Marauder since the others had been taken out.
Cyclops was matching power with Sinister, who was slowly pushing the X-Men leader back. Wolverine and Beast went up against Blockbuster again, pleased to see he had not learned from his previous battle. And the remaining four: Storm, Emma, Colossus and Shadowcat went up against the remaining Mindless Ones.
Shinji and Shigure were at the containment pods not noticing the small green gems uptop the containers. Both trying to figure out a way to unlock them unaware of the changes that just took place within.
"There's gotta to be a way to open these pods." said Shinji as he stood in front of the pod that held the white haired girl feeling the bottom and sides around for a switch or a button. "Wait I think I might have found a switch."
Before Shinji could do anything he was blasted from the side by Sinister having already incapacitated Cyclops himself. Then blasted Shigure before she could attack him.
"Insolent brat!" growled Sinister as he appporached Shinji's downed form. Fortuantly his armored vest absorbed most of imapact and he was able to make it back to feet.
"I won't let you use these girls for your experiments!" exclaimed Shinji drawing his sword making Sinister laugh out loud.
"I admire your bravery boy. But it's foolish to come against me." he said as he approached Shinji who steeled himself for the oncoming altered human.
He glanced around the area for anyone could help him now. His mother was contending with Mindless Ones blasting them off one after the other with her friends who were having some difficulty themselves including Beast and Wolverine with Blockbuster. Cyclops was unconscious from his fight with Sinister, mostly since he had been weakened earlier. His brother Shadow was fighting along Red She Hulk and the five other girls who were being attacked by more Mindless Ones, and worst Shigure was knocked out. So he was alone.
'If I am a Star Guardian then I've got to stop him. I' mustn't runaway I mustn't.' thought Shinji as he gripped the sword tightly. Suddenly something very unexpected started to occur. The blade of his sword started to glow red.
Taking a chance he swung horizontally pushing forward his whole body weight, unleashing a large stream of red fire from the black blade at the evil altered scientist Sinister barely had time to react as he was hit with the blast nearly full force.
"Argh!" he cried out in pain feeling some of his skin burn away then sending him to the ground.
"Surprised? So am I." said Shinji turning his attention to the Mindless Ones attacking his mother. Activating the swords newly discovered power again, Shinji swung it vertically incerating all of the Mindless Ones at once.
Within seconds, all the Mindless Ones were dead.
"Hey! Mine doesn't do that!" Shadow said in a jealous tone seeing what his brother had just done.
"Whoa! Cool!" gasped Shadowcat.
"Da that was amazing, little cub." said Colossus
"Impressive for one so young" commented Emma helping Cyclops to his feet
Blockbuster having been downed once by the combined efforts of Wolverine and Beast got back to his feet, and went over to his boss.
"Are you alright sir?" asked Blockbuster picking up his boss.
"Do I look alright, you fool?! We must retreat! Get the pods and the crate!" ordered Sinister starting to regenerate his heavily injured body.
"Yes sir, but what about the others?" the large man asked.
"Forget them, we've more important things to do!" Sinister snapped.
Mr. Sinister moved to the pod that housed the white haired girl. Though he was healing his injuries were so aggravating that he collapsed to a knee next to it, his hand accidentally hitting the release button. The door opened as steam escaped from it awakening the girl inside.
"Wha, what is going? Where am I?" she asked only to she a strange white skinned man with regenerating skin and attire, in obvious pain.
"What's going on is you are going to be part of something wonderful, my dear." Sinister said evilly nearly fully regenerated frightening the girl.
"No!" she screamed she tried to get loose but Sinister held her in place. He then felt a sharp pain erupt from his side causing him to cry out and release her.
The girl looked to see a boy of japanese descent stab the white skin man with a black blade. She wondered why that was.
"Don't touch her!" Shinji growled pulling out his sword from his body.
"I grow tired of your interference boy! Away with you! Sinster snarled shooting an electric blast at the boy which Shinji deflected with his sword. The attack bounced not back to Sinister but to the top of the remaining closed pods, where the gems were placed, causing them to glow.
"No! The Mind Gems!" exclaimed Sinister seeing them glow before they began to shoot two green energy streams, one towards the occupants of the pods, the other outside.
Sinister raised his energy shield causing it to bounce back towards Shinji hitting him the chest creating a symbol of an Egyptian eye, as he dropped to his knees. This continued for several seconds, until the all gems shattered.
Shigure having regained consciousness opened them freeing the occupants inside one after the other.
"Oh my head. What happened?" groaned the one with the red hair and blue mask.
"I don't know, but I feel different." said the cat girl.
"How did we get here? And why do I feel so strange?" asked the girl in the chinese priestess outfit.
"The last thing I remember is being jumped from behind." said the blonde haired woman who was dressed similarly to the women with red hair.
The girl in the blue chinese dress opened her eyes to revealing light reddish eyes. She focused them on Shinji. She said nothing but walked to Shinji's kneeling form, as he had his hand on his chest when he felt a burning sensation on it.
"Master." she said to him, shocking Shinji and helping him to his feet.
"This is too weird, but for some reason I too feel drawn to him." said the blonde haired woman walking to Shinji.
"Me too, meow!" said the blue haired cat girl going to Shinji too.
The red haired woman said nothing but walk over to him as well, her height towering over him. It was then the white-haired blue-eyed bikini-clad girl got out of the pod. Showing herself in all her petite glory she stood in front of Shinji.
"You have saved my life. In return for this action I will dedicate my life to serving you. My name is Elena." Elena introduced bowing in front of Shinji.
"Uh... I'm Shinji. Shinji Ikari, and it's not necessary" he said bowing back respectfully.
"Since we're introducing ourselves. I'm Mei Ling, a spiritualist." said the brown haired girl.
"I'm Felicia, a cat girl, meow!" the cat girl said as he playfully batted at the air.
"I'm Karla Sofen, a pleasure to meet you." the blond haired woman said sultry to Shinji.
"And I'm Sharon Venture." said the tall red-haired woman.
"I have no name, but if must call me something just call me Li, master." she said.
"I'm sorry to cut this short but Sinister and his cohort had just disappeared." Shigure said seeing that the altered human and his giant accomplice had vanished.
"Well that's just swell!" Sharon said wanting to get a piece of him for trapping her.
"That can't be helped. We need to help my mother and brother and the X-Men." stated Shinji going off in the opposite direction.
"I'm coming too master." said Elena following him as did Li.
The other women didn't know why but they felt compelled to follow him. Little did they know the two mutants' that Shinji unknowingly saved emerged from the darkness. Blink and Feral both also felt compelled to follow Shinji.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
(With the X-Men)
The X-Men stood lined up, side-by-side against Umar, after having destroyed her Mindless Ones and leaving her alone. Plus they had back-up in the forms of a teenage Red She-Hulk, a teenage Tigra, a teenage Nova and teenage Cammy White.
"Is that the best you can do?!" yelled Emma to Umar.
Umar merely smiled and with one finger sent a blast of energy directly into the ground below her. The ground shook and quaked, right before splitting open, a sickly purple and green glow shooting up from the ground, right before hundreds of skeleton-like creatures, wielding various weapons such as spears and swords and shields, emerged from the ground. Umar just smirked arrogantly as the army of skeletons gathered beneath her.
"You had to ask, huh, you blonde haired weirdo?" asked Shadow.
"Weirdo?!" Emma gasped incredulously.
"Yeah, you're a weirdo," said Shadow as everyone gathered together. Shinji stood next to Elena, Mei Ling stood next to her followed by Felicia, then Sharon and Karla and lastly Blink and then Shadow Lady all of them stood side-by-side ready for to fight
Then the girls that Shadow freed lined up next to him. Red She-Hulk took his left, followed by Rainbow Mika, then Nova, Cammy and lastly Feral and Tigra. All primed and ready to fight.
Umar just glared at the super group standing defiant before her, her undead minons were chomping at the bits waiting for her orders to attack. After a few tense moments Umar just smirked.
"This is what I can do. How can you hope to possibly stop me?" asked Umar.
Storm glanced at her fellow X-Men, then her sons, and their unusual "entourages", before she answered.
"There's only one way we can: Together." Storm stated.
Red She-Hulk roared, Shadow whipped out his scythe, Shinji lit up his sword, Nova flared up, Tigra crouched low and bared her fangs and claws, as did Feral. Blink got into fighting stance and created purple energy knives in her hands. Cammy, Mika, Elena and Li all got into their respective fighting stances since they were unarmed.
Last was Mei Ling, who suddenly surrounded herself in a strange golden aura. Her skin and hair turned blue and her entire outfit began to change from yellow and orange to dark and light purple. When she opened her eyes they were no longer light brown but burgundy red.
"My name is Hisen Ko! And I've come to play!" she said as large metal claws came out from under her sleeves, much to the shock of the others around her.
Umar just glared at the large group assembled before her. Her undead minons were chomping at the bits awaiting her order.
"FINISH THEM!" Umar shouted her command.
The army of undead warriors charged forth. The X-Men, the Ikari Brothers, and the unusual group of girls quickly charged forth.
Wolverine sliced through ten of them in less then half a second.
Cyclops unleashed his optic blasts to obliterate anything unfriendly that moved, namely the walking piles of bone. It felt good to cut loose with his powers, mostly since his adversaries were already dead.
Emma had turned her body into diamond, since her psychic powers would not work on creatures without brains, and was punching and kicking away with impunity.
Colossus didn't even need to try, the skeletons weapons couldn't hurt him and his super strength easily crushed them into powder.
Beast was flying through them like a hairy bowling ball, knocking them apart like bowling pins, as Shadowcat used her intangibility powers to have the skeletons miss her and destroy each other when their weapons went through her.
As for Storm, she used her lightning to cut through the massive horde of undead warriors.
Shadow was using his sycthe to tear through the larger heavily armored warriors like butter, laughing all the way he did it. It was clear he was having a lot fun.
Red She-Hulk was using her super strength by smashing the ground causing the bony warriors to literally fall to pieces. They started to swarm all over her, the red gammazon ripped them off of her with ease, even ripping one literally in half. Even as a teen, her strength was impressive.
Nova was high in the sky attacking Umar with her cosmic flames. But Umar merely deflected them with ease, frustrating Nova to no end. Then it became a three-on-one situation when Sharon and Karla joined in and teamed up on Umar.
Cammy was using her extraordinary fighting skills to decimate the large portion of skeleton warriors. Rainbow Mika joined in with her and began fighting in tandem.
Li showing some impressive, martial arts skills of her own.(A/N Chun Li's moveset from SF) as was Elena, who were fighting closely to Shinji whom was fighting back-to-back with his brother Shadow.
The melee was fierce and wild and chaotic, but the heroes were undeterred as they decimated Umar's undead army.
Meanwhile, Umar herself was now fighting four-on-one as Storm entered the fray and attacked the sorceress.
Umar being a powerful sorceress as well as being the sister to the evil extra dimensional being Dormmamu thought she should have no trouble in defeating a mutant, a former herald of Galactus and a Kree cosmic powered woman. But she quickly found herself struggling against their combined might. Nova managed to ram the sorceress to the ground.
Then Storm, Karla, and Nova all combined their powers, Stom with her lightning, Karla with her cosmic blasts and Nova with her flames. Umar tried to shield herself as best she could, deflecting some of the mutant's lightning causing it to bounce towards the glass container lighting it up.
Umar screamed in agony as the four women pressed their attacks. For the first time in her life she felt overpowered.
"Arghh!" Umar screamed as she was brought to her knees.
After a few more moments of this the quartlet stopped their attacks, leaving the dark sorceress in a battered state. Her long green dress was in ruins, nearly torn to pieces, her pale skin was covered in bruises and scorch marks, and she was breathing heavily. Umar looked all around and saw her army of undead warriors were defeated. The X-Men, along with the other group stood side-by-side ready to strike at her weakened state.
"This is NOT over!" exclaimed Umar as used the last of her strength to disappear, summoning a portal beneath her on the ground and quickly sinking into it.
The large group for the first time that night were finally able to breathe.
"I'm gonna need a beer after that." said Wolverine as she cracked her neck.
"I'm gonna be sore in the morning." groaned Beast rubbing his shoulder.
"Da, this one hopes we don't see her for awhile." said Colossus reverting back to human form.
"Ditto." said Shadowcat said as she sat down next to her boyfriend.
"Now that Umar and Mister Sinister have crawled back to their holes, lets see what's in that-" Emma started to say but trailed off when she saw the glass container had disappeared. "Huh were did it go?" asked Emma
"One of Sinister's goons must have made a grab for it while we were busy." Cyclops surmised
"Oh terrific." Emma groaned.
Little did any of them know that the two winged figures that had been watching the events unfold managed to take the glass container right from under all their noses, they merely giggle and dissappeared with their prize.
Meanwhile Storm was with her two sons and Shigure assessing the odd situation within their group. Namely the large group of women that surrounded both Shadow and Shinji, and one particular girl with white haired girl was clinging herself to Shinji.
"This... is gonna be real trouble, isn't Lady Ororo?" asked Shigure.
"Yes, it is." answered Storm
(Back on the Axalon)
Storm had bid farewell to her friends, The X-Men, but not before telling Cyclops to keep a close watch on Emma Frost and Kitty to keep an eye on Colossus.
Now she was piloting the jet back to Animaria with her sons and several guests. She glanced back at the women, Red She-Hulk who had apparently reformed her ways sat in the back, Nova, Galactus's former herald, sat in front of her. Tigra was snuggled up with Shadow on his left side with Rainbow Mika on his right. The girl Cammy sitting next to now a teenaged Nova, who scowled at them not knowing why herself. Also the mysterious pale skin woman called Li, she looked at Shinji and called him master. Storm made a note, to check with all of her sources, to find out about this woman, and where she came from.
Shigure was sitting right next to Storm, she looked at Shinji who had Felicia the cat girl snuggled against him on his left and Elena took the seat to his right. She explained to Storm that if an outsider saves the life of a woman of her tribe, then she must dedicate her life to serving the outsider. which rarely happens. Hence her reason for being here on the Axalon.
As for the other two, Karla Sofen and Sharon Venture, they were having a staring contest for no reason. Maybe it was because they were dressed similarly? The only ones not making a fuss or creating any tension was the girl Mei Ling who was sitting in the back in a cross-legged position. She would need to ask about her alter ego in the near future. And the two mutants they saved, Feral and Blink, they were there as well.
"This is going to be difficult to explain to Ryu and my parents, and we're going to need to add more rooms to the castle. " said Storm.
"Indeed." Shigure merely replied.
"But what concerns me is that the red energy blast that came from Shinji's sword. Ryu and I will have to talk with Muramasa about that." Storm said.
"I'm wondering about that also." Shigure said as Animaria came into view.
"Wow! Is that your home, Master Shinji?" asked Elena looking outside the ship.
"Yes, it is Elena. And that castle is where we live." he answered.
"Doesn't that make you a prince?" asked Felicia
"And you too Shadow?" asked Tigra.
"I wouldn't say that." Shadow replied.
"I can't wait to see the inside of your castle and explore the lands." said Elena.
"You will child, trust me. But I'm more concerned about Red She-Hulk and Sharon. I don't want them to wreck the castle or the island." stated Storm as she piloted the jet into a landing pattern near the lower side of the castle.
"Red She-Hulk wouldn't do that unless Red She-Hulk angry." said the red gammazon.
"I wouldn't destroy anyone's property, unless I was really angry." said Sharon.
"Good. I'll speak with my husband about your stay with us, and build another wing in the castle for Sharon and Red She-Hulk." said Storm rolling the jet into the hangar.
"Huh? Why?" the pair asked in unison.
"We have rooms to accommodate our family members and guests, but not ones of your size and power." said Storm
"Oh. okay." Sharon said accepting that.
Nothing else was said as they all exited the jet and went into the hangar bay. There Storm saw Ryu with a long dark haired woman next to him talking with her father on the platform. Curious she floated up into the air and landed near the trio talking.
"Welcome home, Honey." greeted Ryu.
"Ah Ororo welcome home. I trust your mission was a success?" asked Sangar
"Yes, father it was though we didn't come back alone. We brought guests" said Storm. Gesturing to the large group a females that exited the Axalon. The ones that stood out them were the red gammazon Red She-Hulk and tall red-haired Sharon Venture. Ryu having removed his hood and mask and gave his wife a questioning look.
"I know dear. We'll talk about that later, but now, who is this woman? And did you find the Soul-taker sword?" She questioned getting a nod from her husband.
"My name is Tatsu Yamishiro, but I'm also called Katana." she introduce bowing respectfully.
"I am Ororo Ikari, I'm also called Storm. I am a wife, a mother and a force of nature." she stated the last part seriously even as Felicia and Feral were jumping around the landing pad trying to catch some butterflies.
"I'm aware of your reputation. But moreover I'm impressed that you managed to tame the dragon." Katana complemented, even as Cammy and Mika were staring at the castle.
"Thank you, now about the Soul-taker sword? Where is it now?" Storm asked as Karla and Nova were talking to each other.
"With Reiko, in her lab now. Hopefully she'll be able to decipher the text on the blade. So we'll known how to use it properly when the time comes." Sangar said as he noticed the white-haired girl hanging onto Shinji's arm.
"So you told Ms Yamashiro about what we have planned for Nerv when we confront them?" asked Storm getting a nod from both men.
"They told me everything. And I've heard more than my fair share of rumors about their commander, so I'd like to help if you'll allow me." Katana said.
"We would welcome it. So if you'll follow me, I'd like to introduce you to my wife Kyoshi." said Sangar gesturing her to follow him. The young woman nodded and followed him out.
Seeing that was done Ryu turned to his wife with a serious look.
"Now about those women Ororo." said Ryu.
"I know dear, we can discuss it over some tea maybe." Storm offers
"A lot of tea, I think. But if they are staying with us, then you're going to assign rooms."said Ryu.
"For the others it'll be easy, but for Red She Hulk and Sharon..." Ororo trailed off
"I understand. I'll have Tadashi build larger and stronger rooms for them." Ryu replied.
Nothing else was said after wards. Ryu and Ororo went up to their bedroom while Shinji and Shadow with their respective groups went their rooms too. Had any one stayed behind in the hangar bay they would have notice the white and blue winged robot's green eyes glow.
End Chapter
End Notes: This took me weeks to do thank you TOAT for Beta reading. So there you have it Ryu and his daughters got the Soul-taker sword, And Storm and her sons saved the X men and several others. And how did you like that Shinji gets a harem of girls and Shadow gets a harem of girls. Yeah those were Morrigan Aseland and Lilith from Darkstalkers. I thought add them in for heck of it to play around and cause mischief for Shadow and Shinji they'll be back with the mysterious woman anyone try to guess who it was? And in case anyone missed it I made some of the girls closer to Shadow and Shinji's ages but for Shinji's girls it's delayed for a time.
