Gutter walked through the Furbidden lands slowly and with extreme caution always looking at the ground and anything else they came across. "Hey, over there." Gutter whispered and pointed to a house in terrible condition. Broken windows, pieces of wood missing, grass and moss growing all over. "Check it out!" Deadpool ran towards the house and peeked through the windows surveying the interior.
"Looks empty to me. Buuuuut..." Deadpool approached the front door and opened it casually stepping in without hesitation with Gutter right behind him. "Hey look at this." Deadpool called Gutter over and started knocking on the dusty wooden floorboards. "It's hollow." He stated. Gutter walked over to the spot Deadpool indicated and using his shield he started slamming it on the floor almost immediately shattering the flimsy floorboards. "We have to check out everything we encounter. Make sure nothing is missed." Gutter said and fell through the hole he made.
Deadpool jumped in with him and landed on something wet. He was about to complain about his soaked feet until he realized the different branching paths. "Tunnels, watch out for any traps." Gutter warned Deadpool. "Yeah, wouldn't want my suit to rip." Deadpool said. "Say...just how big is this whole area anyway?" Deadpool asked.
"Furbidden land is an unmarked territory. I see why nobody would want it though." Gutter said as he looked left and right unsure of what path to take. "I say we split up. Cover more ground that way." Deadpool suggested.
"If the situation was anything but this, I would've told you to stop with that horror movie cliche plan." Gutter said and took the left branching path. "Guess I'll go right." Deadpool said.
WITH DEADPOOL
(There. On the floor.)
"A nice shiny gold coin laying on the floor. Just waiting to be picked up."
(Well? Go get it!)
"What's the worst that could happen?" Deadpool said and picked up the gold coin. He waited for something to happen but was only met with silence. He walked onwards and came to a dead end. "There's nothing he-" The ground Deadpool stood suddenly caved in under his feet and he fell for a few seconds before landing in a waterfall and being dragged along with it. For what seemed like an eternity he stayed underwater being pushed fast by the stream until coming into contact with the cold, damp, ground.
"Holy crap, I actually almost drowned!" Deadpool got up and looked at the cave he was in. "Just how deep does this place go?" Deadpool heard something shuffle in the distance and on instinct pulled out his katana. An almost identical huge worm that they encountered emerged from the shadows and with some goo dripping from its mouth let out a high pitched scream.
Then the rest of them emerged. Deadpool couldn't count them all and prepared for a fight. He sprinted towards his enemies and jumped as high as he could and jumped on one of them. He used this to his advantage and clung to one of them while slicing and dicing any of them that came close to him. Said worm started to shake and convulse in an attempt to shake him off which eventually worked.
This lets one of his allies sneak up behind Deadpool and smack him insanely hard to a wall shattering prts of his Spine. Deadpool dropped his katanas and with his knees on his floor waited for his spine to rejuvenate. He reacted quickly as he pulled a grenade from his satchel and yelled "Kobe!" he pitched the frag into the mouth of a worm which shortly after exploded into a million pieces. He drew his pistols and fired an almost endless stream of bullets at the worms effectively killing a few.
A worm clung to the ceiling dropped down on Deadpool and swallowed him whole. After a few moments of Deadpool struggling to get out the worm swallowed and let out a satisfied burp. It and the rest of its allies seemed to believe the battle over until their comrade suddenly had chainsaw tear right through. "This thing doesn't bleed, yet I still killed it." Deadpool said as he came out from the belly of the monster. The worms screeched in anger and all assaulted Deadpool at the same time, to which he responded to by revving up his chainsaw.
WITH GUTTER
Gutter held his baton and shield up at the ready waiting in intense suspense for something to come at him. He peeked a corner and saw a swarm of those huge worms from earlier altogether. They all let out small tiny squeaking sounds. "Flashbangs won't do any good since they don't have eyes. I can't possibly take on a whole group of them." Gutter kept observing the room and realized the fragile pillars that held a portion of the cave together.
He quietly rummaged through his backpack and pulled out some C4 and the detonator. He leaned his backpack on against a wall and readied himself looking for an opening. He patiently waited and watched as the worms moved, not leaving the room once. He waited...
"There!" He shouted suddenly and rushed the creatures his C4 in his hand. He threw one of them that stuck neatly on the pillar. He quickly shifted his attention to the other one and tossed the other C4 onto that pillar. He hastily retreated bob and weaving of the masses of worms trying to attack him. He pushed the button on the detonator and jumped back to his original position. The C4 explosion only killed a few worms, but the falling boulders crushed the entire room effectively killing everything and leaving a huge cloud of sulfur and dust in its wake.
Gutter sighed in relief and started to reach for his backpack until a worm burst from the rocks and at an insanely fast rate almost swallowed Gutter. Luckily for him, he had placed his shield right in the mouth of the worm. The shield was too big for its mouth to swallow. Gutter calmly walked up to it pulled out his Deagle and blew a hole right through its head with his Deagle its brain and blood splattering all over. Gutter yanked the shield out of its mouth and cleaned it.
After that, he checked his equipment, zipped up his backpack, grabbed his shield and baton and proceeded to walk the way Deadpool did since it was a dead end and covered in rubble. The ground he stood on began to shake.
WITH DEADPOOL
"Whew!" Deadpool wiped the sweat off from his forehead and put the chainsaw back into his pouch, retrieved his katanas, and reloaded his pistols. The ground above him started to tremble and almost instantly the bodies of worms and rocks came falling down almost crushing Deadpool. He walked up to the debris and watched as a shield suddenly jutted out. Gutter emerged and dusted himself off. "The hell happened?" Deadpool asked. "C4" Gutter simply said. "Understandable, have a nice day."
"You find anything up there?" Deadpool asked. "Just a lot of these worms." Gutter responded as looked at the pile of eviscerated worms that Deadpool stood upon. "Looks like you encountered them too." Gutter observed.
"Hey! Look at this." Deadpool had walked up to a hole in the wall where the worms emerged. "What is this?" Deadpool found some sort of Gem that stood upright on a pedestal.
"I don't need to tell you not to touch that, right?" Gutter said. "Eh, I got a healing factor if something goes wrong carry my body back outside." Deadpool said and slowly began to reach for the gem. As soon as he closed his right hand and grabbed the gem he quickly pulled his arm out from the hole. Nothing happened.
"Welp, guess it's just their pretty gem." Deadpool handed the gem to Gutter who observed for a few seconds until he put it in his backpack. "Applejack did say Apple Rose needed a hip replacement..." He said talking to himself.
BACK OUTSIDE
"We should be cautious of other homes we encounter." Gutter warned Deadpool who nodded in agreement. As they walked on through the abandoned wastelands Deadpool, out of the blue, asked Gutter a question. "Why do you always hang out with Applejack?" Gutter put his hand under his chin thinking on how to respond to that question. "Hm. I don't seem to know myself. I just do. Why bring this up?" He asked. "If I didn't know any better I'd say both of you act all mushy around each other." He said.
"I could say the same thing about you and Pinkie." Gutter fired back. "You get along so well but you don't see me assuming a relationship between you two." Gutter said. "Ok then. What about Luna?" Deadpool pressed further. "With this again? I've only spoken to her once or twice." Gutter told Deadpool in an annoyed tone.
"Aha! You're getting angry! That proves it!" Deadpool claimed. "The only thing that proves is how far I'm going to shove my baton up your ass!" Gutter angrily said. They both walked onward and talked about other things until Deadpool noticed a faint trail of smoke.
"People?" Deadpool asked. "Ponies most likely." Gutter said. They walked towards the smoke and went up a barren hill. Once they reached the top all they found was tents on fire and some spilled food. They surveyed the area in search of someone but found nothing. "Look, hoofprints." Gutter pointed to the ground. He touched it with his gloved hand and smelled whatever substance he had touched. He followed the hoofprints to the back of the hill and found a cave.
"Let's go. Also, hoofprints?" Deadpool went first and slid down the hill until he landed in front of the dark cave. "That's what its shaped like. Anyway. Careful. This could be a trap." Gutter cautioned Deadpool as he too slid down the hill. They both walked onwards into the pitch black cave. "Here." Deadpool handed Gutter a flashlight to which he rejected. "Already got one." He said as he flicked it on and aimed it ahead of him. Deadpool switched his on as well and began to explore the cave.
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary except for the hoofprints that Gutter and Deadpool followed. The cave was surprisingly small. At the end of it, they found two ponies lying on the ground their equipment lying on the floor. Gutter drew his Deagle and aimed it at the bodies. Deadpool slowly and methodically approached the two ponies lying on the ground flipped one of them over.
"R.I.P. They're dead," Deadpool claimed and grabbed one of their bags. "They got food though." He said as he showed Gutter the bag. A sizzling like sound echoed throughout the cave. Gutter readied himself immediately. Deadpool dropped the bag and drew his katanas. Snakes emerged from the melted rock and all began to menacingly approach the duo.
"Wait, Deadpool! don't cut them!" Gutter yelled at Deadpool. But it was too late. He had already penetrated right through the snake killing it almost immediately. Deadpool's katana suddenly started to turn a green sickly color that started from the tip of the blade all the way to Deadpool who suddenly started to vomit and shake uncontrollably.
"Basilisks. I had a sneaking suspicion other mythical creatures resided in this world." Gutter though to himself. The rest of the snakes all hissed at Gutter who avoided any eye contact with them. Gutter smiled however as he pulled the pin of one flashbang and tossed it in front of him. He closed his eyes as the flashbang went off.
"Unluckily for all of you, these are specially made." Gutter said as he stomped on one them. "They render you blind for a good minute." He smashed another with his baton. "Which is more than enough time."
Deadpool slowly opened his eyes and winced as the sunlight suddenly hit his eyes he looked to his left and saw Gutter checking his equipment like he always does. "I'm awake, what got me?" Deadpool asked. "A basilisk. A mythical creature that could kill you with a look. And it's blood." Gutter told him. "When you sliced one of them. The poison quickly spread through your weapon and made you unconscious.
Deadpool sniffed the air and recoiled at the awful stench. "My mask smells like crap! What did I eat?" Deadpool removed his mask and sniffed it to confirm that it came from him. He set the mask down on the ground and pulled out some detergent, and a bucket of water from his satchel. "I never asked you. Where did you get that satchel?" Gutter asked.
"I just have it, the writers of my comic never bothered to explain it." Deadpool informed him. "Ah, I see." Gutter seemed satisfied at his answer. After Deadpool finished washing his mask and putting it back on they both kept on moving through the wasteland.
