(I came up with this episode after watching the new Wolverine cartoon with Silver Samurai. It wasn't the best episode ever but I thought to myself wouldn't be interesting if the Brotherhood had to save the X-Men? Also there is graphic torture in this chapter. Trust me, the Geneva Convention would blow it's top off if they read this. I'm kidding of course but you need to read it for yourself. Please review.)
A week goes by and Wolverine heads back to the Institute from his little road trip. He didn't actually have any planned destination whenever he goes on one, he just goes wherever he goes. It helps to clear his head after dealing with all the kids back at home.
When he arrived at the entrance, he could see Lance's jeep outside. Most likely Lance taking Kitty on another movie night. Well whatever, what those two did was no business of his.
He stepped inside and realized something was wrong. It was quiet, which was something of an impossibility in this mansion. He sniffed the air and caught the scents of the usual houseguest along with the past scents of Lance and John, but he also caught a group of newcomers.
He entered the kitchen to find it trashed. Some holes in the wall, no doubt made by Summers but his scent left along with the newcomers. Obviously the mansion was attacked and Scott was taken. Logan ran throughout the building, no one here. They were all taken as well.
He made one last stop into the living room and found Lance Alvers lying on the ground, unconscious. Logan quickly grabbed a flower vase filled with water and splashed it on Alver's face.
Lance screamed as his eyes jolted awake. "Huh? What the…?" said Lance, who seemed more confused then Logan. "What happened? Where are the others?" demanded Wolverine. "I don't know, I got here to drop off Kitty. I followed her to the door and then there was some ninja who threw dust at us. That's the last thing I remember I swear." said Lance, startled to have Wolverine in his face.
Ninjas? Could it be the Hand? No, they were through with him. If they wanted him dead, they would have tried a long time ago. Then he caught a familiar smell in the room. Logan couldn't believe his nose, it couldn't be him. He let go of Lance.
"What's going on?" said Lance. "Get out of here." said Logan before heading to the door. "No way, I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what's going on." said Lance. Wolverine growled at him. "Every one of the students along with Storm, Beast, and Charles have all been kidnapped." said Logan. Alvers was stunned. "What? By who?" he asked. "Silver Samurai." grunted Logan as he walked out.
Lance busted into the Boarding House. "Guys! We've got trouble!" he yelled out. Everyone came running into the foyer. "What's wrong yo?" asked Toad. "Someone's kidnapped the X-Men, they're all gone except Wolverine." said Lance.
Everyone was silent for a moment then all the Brotherhood (except John) all started shouting for joy. "They're gone. They're finally gone!" cheered Pietro. "No more lectures, no more punks, no more red heads and dirty looks." sang Chris.
"What about Amara?!!" yelled John. "She's gone too. In case you weren't listening, he said everyone except Wolverine." said Toad. "NOOOOOO! We've got to get 'er back." cried John.
"Why?" said Kine, as if it was a trick question. "Good point, what did those goody goody punks ever do for us?" said Fred. The whole house began to shake violently as Lance yelled, "WE'RE GETTING KITTY, AMARA, AND EVERYONE ELSE BACK GOT IT?!"
Everyone was too afraid to say no and they all quickly nodded their heads. "Uhh, newsflash Lance. How exactly are we going to find them?" said Terrance. Lance was speechless, he was so intent on getting the rest of the Brotherhood to help out that he didn't know what else to do.
"Well, we can't follow Wolverine considering you're here and he's not." pointed Pietro. "Wolverine told me that the guy behind this was named Silver Samurai." said Lance.
"Wait a minute, I know him." said Kine. "You know that guy?" asked a stunned Lance. "Well not personally but I know him by reputation. You see, I'm real big into organized crime organizations and I try to keep up with what's going on in each one. Silver Samurai is a guy by the name of Harada and he's one of the Yakuza's top man." said Kine.
"What's a Yakuza?" asked a confused Fred. "Japanese Mafia my friend, it turns out that they were recently investigated by the FBI for smuggling by using a dummy corporation that owned several warehouses down in the New York Harbor." said Kine. "Can you get the addresses?" asked John. "Of course, just let me work my magic." said Kine.
Kine found the address, a series of empty warehouses. "What is it with villains and abandoned warehouses yo?" asked Toad as they investigated the buildings. "Privacy away from peering eyes, you don't have to pay mortgage off, stuff like that." answered Pietro.
"If they've touched a hair on Amara's head, I'm gonna fry them Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle wannabes so hot their ashes will disinigrate." growled John. "And I'm not gonna rock anyone who touches Kitty, I'm just gonna kill 'em." growled Lance.
They checked out all the warehouses and couldn't find anything. But one warehouse did have a bunch of new boxes and a guard of Japanese descent. The man suddenly found himself paralyzed as the Brotherhood approached him.
"What the..?" he yelled out, trying to move. "Where's Harada?" demanded Lance. "I don't know what you're talking about? I'm just a security guard." said the man. "And you're inside an abandoned warehouse? Nice try." said Pietro.
"I won't tell you freaks anything." growled the man. Fire emerged on John's hands. "Let me have a few minutes alone with him." said Pyro. "No, I've got a better idea. Fred, sit on him." said Lance.
"Okay." said Fred, who sat on top of him but not completely. "AHHHHH!" screamed the guard. Then Fred farted, right in the guy's face. The guard turned his head and vomited.
"Oh man, that was just wrong and this is me talking." said Toad. "I'm gonna have nightmares for the rest of my life." said Chris. "Excuse me." said Pietro who ran to a bucket and puked himself. "Start talking or I start unloading." said Fred. "OKAY! OKAY! I'll talk." yelled the guard.
Wolverine followed the scent trail on his motorcycle. Eventually it was just down to one scent, Harada's. He wanted Logan to follow him and get the death match he's been wanting all along.
Well, Logan wasn't going to disappoint him. He followed the trail to an open field where standing in the middle of it was man dressed in metallic armor. The Silver Samurai. He wore ancient samurai armor and wielded a long katana.
"I've been looking forward to this day Guijin. When you defeated me all those years ago, I waited for the right moment to strike. Now that the Yakuza is mine, I used their best men to capture your friends." said Harada.
"Let them go, they've got nothing to do with this." growled Wolverine. "I will, but only if you kill me. If you run away, they die. If you lose, they die. Now let's finish this." said Harada, drawing his sword. Logan's claws popped out of his hands and the two warriors clashed.
The guard told them the Yakuza had just purchased a building in the nearby warehouse district. The building was going to be heavily guarded, with some of the best Yakuza fighters there.
When they arrived at the set of warehouses, the Brotherhood didn't see or hear anyone. "You realize that the same people who grabbed the X-Men are probably hiding somewhere out there right now. Just waiting for the right moment to attack us." said Fred.
Pietro and Chris whispered to each other for a moment. "Don't worry. The two of us have got just the thing." said Chris. Pietro zoomed off and popped back holding a sledgehammer. "It's time to play Whack a Ninja." said Pietro.
Terrance sent out psychic static all over the set of warehouses. Every one of the ninjas who were hiding outside screamed in pain.
Pietro zoomed over to each and every one of them and smashed them in the back of the head. Kine also sent out neural commands all along the rooftops, which cause several ninjas to run off the top of the buildings and land on the pavement.
"That had to hurt." commented Toad. It didn't take the team long to finish off the rest of the ninjas and move towards the warehouse.
Wolverine and Silver Samurai continued their battle. Both were highly skilled and the battle was fierce. Neither one of them relented for even a second. Though Harada didn't have the multiple blades like Wolverine, his energy-charged sword more then made up for that.
But in the end, Logan managed to knock Harada's sword out of his hands and take him to the ground. "Kill me." grunted Harada in defeat. "Where are my friends?" demanded Logan. "I said kill me!" yelled Harada. "I don't care about you and your stupid honor, call your goons and tell them to let my friends go." said Logan.
Shamefully, Harada said, "Very well." He pulled out his cell phone and dialed a number. "Kill them." Harada said, an evil smile forming. "NOOO!" yelled Logan. "Go ahead and listen to your friend's deaths." said Harada.
"Understood." said the Yakuza goon on the other end. He and three others were guarding the X-Men were all unconscious and lying on the floor. The four criminals pulled out their guns and prepared to shoot the helpless X-Men when suddenly the door busted open.
They turned their guns all at the entering Brotherhood until Kine sent a neural command that forced all of them to point their guns at their own heads. They all screamed in confusion and terror.
"They're okay." said Lance as he checked on Kitty. John checked on Amara. Pietro started quibbling circles around Daniel's eyes and gave him a mustache and a goatee. Toad picked up the cell phone.
"Sorry yo, but we can't let you kill of the X-Geeks. Who else are we going to make miserable?" came Toad's voice over the cell phone. Logan was stunned just as much as Harada. He picked it up.
"Toad? Is that you?" asked Logan. "Yep, we just saved the day. The Brotherhood just saved the geek squad. I know, I can't believe it myself." said Toad. Logan turned around to find Harada gone, vanished. No doubt he was heading out of town.
The X-Men all started to come around. "What just happened?" said Scott. "We were attacked by ninjas, that is just messed up." said Bobby. The X-Men all glanced around to the Brotherhood members gathering up the last of the unconscious ninjas and placing them in pile.
"What a minute? Does this mean that they…" said Jean. "No…no…" said Scott in denial. "They actually…" said a stunned Kurt. "Please let this be a nightmare." moaned Evan.
"The Brotherhood just saved your collective goody goody butts." said Toad, proudly. "That's right. Today, we're the heroes and you're all the damsels in distress." said Fred.
The X-Men were just stunned. "This is certainly a surprise." said Storm. "I think we owe you our thanks." said Xavier. "And we'll start with you." said Kitty to Lance before she kissed him. "You're next." said Amara before kissing John.
Pietro turned to Jean. "Aren't you going to give me a kiss?" he said, his lips puckering. She tried to hit him but he dashed out of the way laughing. Daniels wiped his face and noticed black ink on his hand. He glanced in a mirror and screamed, "Who did this?"
Pietro laughed. "So on a scale of one to one point five, just how would you rate your Maximoff makeover?" chucked Pietro. Evan chased after Quicksilver who zoomed off laughing.
(See, I told you it contained graphic torture. Fred unloading would make water boarding seem like a vacation. Next chapter is a personal favorite of mine, Joyride. That's right, Lance joins the X-Men but he's not going alone. Our favorite Australian fire hazard will be joining him.)
