It was nighttime in the city of Station Square. Mostly everyone turned in for the night, as they needed a good night sleep, except for our heroes whom after the baseball game, have gotten hungry and decided to eat dinner. Knuckles however, didn't stay with them and went off on his lonely journey in search of the Chaos Emeralds.

In the dining room of the Thorndyke Mansion, everyone was eating dinner, except for Wade, who had already finished up his food and had gotten bored as he lay in the bed of his and Vanessa's room.

With a sigh, he walked up to his closet, opened it, grabbed his suit and put it on before heading downstairs to the front door. The others noticed this as they stopped eating.

"Where are you going?" Sonic asked.

"I'm going to Casinopolis." Wade answered. "See if there's any nuts to crack, money to gamble, chicks to play with…"

"I'm still here, Wade." Vanessa pointed out with a glare.

A vein stuck out her forehead

"Heh. Good ol' anime humor right there." Wade said to the readers before turning his attention back to the gang. "Anyway, toodles!"

With that, he closed the door and hopped on his motorcycle before making his way to the city.


Wade got to Casinopolis within ten minutes. He parked his motorcycle and entered.

He saw many people sitting at the machines or playing poker or any other casino game like in Vegas. A blonde waitress walked by him and Wade's eyes popped out of his head. She walked by him and he fell to the ground and looked at her walk away.

"Nice ass toots!" he said out loud. As he got back up, he felt something soft press against his back. He chuckled and guessed what it was.

"If you want me to give you a motorboat, all you gotta do is ask, miss." Deadpool said as he turned around, only to be greeted by someone he'd never expect to see again…

It was a young woman with black hair who wore a vest with straps on her shoulders with a black long sleeved shirt underneath that showed a bit of her cleavage. She also wore black gloves on her hands. She wore black pants with brown boots.

"I'm not asking for a motorboat." the woman said with an evil smile.

"Ah, shit!" Deadpool cursed. "Not less-angry Rosie O'Donnell!"

Angel Dust swung her fist into Deadpool's chest, sending him flying into a slot machine, which then spilled out dozens of coins. The people in the building stopped what they were doing and looked at the scene before them.

"Thank you!" Deadpool said as he started gathering coins and putting them in the pockets of his pants as quickly as he could.

"Don't spend your money all at once." a voice growled in a British accent.

It took a moment for Deadpool to recognize the voice. He stopped collecting the coins and looked up at the speaker.

In front of him was a man with barely any hair. He wore a bulletproof vest with a grey long sleeved shirt underneath. He also wore some gloves, silver pants with several pockets and black shoes. In his gloved hands were two silver tomahawks.

The man grinned evilly at him and asked, "What's my name?"

Deadpool recognized him and glared daggers as he answered, "Francis."

Ajax laughed. "You still remember me. I'm touched." he said sarcastically.

"How'd you find me this time?" Deadpool asked as he clenched his fists and released his blades for battle.

"Saw you on the news an hour ago." Francis answered. "I have to say, that was quite a game back there."

"Doesn't matter, 'cause I can still take the both of you!" Deadpool said as he got into a battle stance.

"You might want to count again." Ajax commented, making Deadpool raise an eyebrow.

Just then, a roar came from behind him. Deadpool turned around and was met with a clawed hand to his face that sent him flying a few feet away. As soon as he got back up to his feet, he looked up at the assailant and couldn't believe who it was.

It was a man with short black hair with sideburns. He wore a long black trenchcoat with a black shirt underneath. He also wore some black pants and some black shoes. His fingernails were sharp, almost like a feline's. The man smiled evilly, showing some fangs.

"Miss me?" the man asked smugly.

"Ah, shit." Deadpool cursed.

Victor Creed grabbed Deadpool by the neck, digging his sharp claws into it, before slamming him into a wall, while the patrons began running for the exit.

"Why are you working for that British shit-stick, Victor?" Deadpool asked, his voice gagging as Victor choked him.

"Turns out he has more adamantium than that sucker Stryker does." Victor explained. "Once we're finished with you, I'll be more stronger than Jimmy and you!"

"And maybe a little more furrier than him?" Deadpool asked.

Victor growled at the little quip and threw Deadpool to a wall. The merc attempted to get back up to his feet, only for Ajax to grab him by the collar of his suit and lift him in the air.

"Let's take this outside!" he said as he threw him through the glass window.

Deadpool landed on his back and did a back roll that brought him back on his feet as a few civilians began to run.

Ajax exited the casino with an evil smirk on his face, Angel Dust pounded her fists together, and Victor roared like a lion, all ready for battle.


Back at the Thorndyke Mansion…

Once everyone has finished their dinner, they threw away any leftovers before washing their plates. Chris, on the other hand, sat on the couch in the living room while resting his cheek on his hand. Chuck came in and noticed the bored look on his grandson's face before walking over to him.

"Hey, I know you're upset about losing the Chaos Emeralds, but we did do a great job at the game." Chuck assured him.

"Thanks, grandpa." Chris said.

"How about a little TV to cheer you up?" Chuck asked, holding the remote.

"I'd like that." Chris said with a smile.

Chuck smiled back and turned on the TV. The news was currently on.

"Residents are advised to stay indoors!" Scarlet Garcia announced. "The streets have been turned into a battleground as Deadpool and three unknown assailants are duking it out just outside Casinopolis!"

The camera zoomed in, and Deadpool is seen fighting Ajax, Angel Dust and Victor.

"Guys! You gotta come see this!" Chris called to the others.

The Sonic Heroes, Ella and Tanaka came in and observed the battle on the news.

"Who are those guys?" Tails asked, referring to the three supervillains.

They watched as Deadpool teleported in front of Ajax and delivered a roundhouse kick to his face before teleporting in front of Angel Dust and delivering a dropkick to her stomach, sending her falling on her back. Lastly, he teleported behind Victor and slashed his back with his blade before teleporting in front of him and slashing him across the stomach.

"I think he's got the hang of this!" Sonic said.

As Deadpool teleported behind Victor once more, however, the latter managed to turn around quickly and grab him by the neck and digging his claws into it. Deadpool retaliated by ramming his blade into Victor's stomach, only for Ajax to ram the sharp back of his tomahawk into Deadpool's back and tossing him right into a car.

"Or not." Chris said meekly.

As Deadpool was about to get up, however, Angel Dust grabbed the back of his head and slammed his face down to the ground several times before picking him up, wrapping her arms under his, and placing both hands on his head, holding him in place as Ajax and Victor advanced on him.

Victor ripped off Deadpool's suit, revealing the markings on his bare torso, before slashing at the merc's abdomen several times while grinning sinisterly.

"We gotta help him!" Tails said.

"Where's Sonic?" Chris asked.

The group looked around, and Sonic was nowhere in sight.


Meanwhile...

Deadpool was still getting slashed by Victor. As soon as the scars sealed, Victor would give him more. Right before the clawed mutant could deliver another slash, Deadpool planted his feet on the ground and jumped, while in Angel Dust's hold, before kicking Victor's arm away with his left foot and delivered a kick to his face with his right one.

Deadpool then rammed the back of his head into Angel Dust's face, causing her to release him from her hold, before delivering a roundhouse kick to her face.

With those two dealt with, Deadpool turned his attention to Ajax, who ran at him with his tomahawks ready. Deadpool released his blades for battle and ran at him as well.

Ajax swung his tomahawks at him, but Deadpool countered them with his blades. The two combatants locked their blades together, struggling to push the other back. Deadpool grunted as he tried holding the axes back and, using his strength, swung his arms up, sending Francis's axes flying into the air.

Deadpool rammed his blades into Ajax's chest and swung him head first into the concrete floor before jumping on top of him and punching his face several times, rage starting to build up as he continued punching him for what he did to him in the past.

As he finished punching Ajax, Deadpool clenched his right fist, releasing his blade and prepared to swing it into Francis's neck.

"You don't wanna kill me." Francis growled. "I'm the only one who can fix your ugly mug!"

Sure enough, Deadpool stopped.

He turned around to a fist from Victor hitting him right in the face. Deadpool flew backwards a bit due to the punch. He got up and was pulled into a headlock by Angel Dust. Ajax walked up to him and started to continuously punch him in the face.

As soon as Ajax finished, Victor ran up to Deadpool and slashed at his face. It connected and Ajax followed up with another punch. Angel Dust then threw Deadpool to the ground and placed her foot on his back, holding him down.

Before Deadpool can make a move, Ajax rammed a piece of rebar through the merc's back and through the concrete ground, thus trapping him in place.

"Let's see you teleport yourself out of this one." Ajax taunted as he positioned one of his axes on Deadpool's neck. Once it was positioned neatly, he raised it slowly in the air.

"Any last words, Wilson?" Ajax asked smugly.

Deadpool looked at him with a mouthless smirk.

"Yeah." he answered. "BALL!"

Ajax raised his eyebrow in confusion, but then heard something coming from in front of him. As the sound got louder, Francis looked up, only to be greeted by a blue ball nailing him directly in the chest, sending him flying into a wall.

The blue ball unfurled, revealing it to be Sonic, who had a smirk on his face.

"That's my pal!" Deadpool cheered.

"So, you're the rat I've been hearing about." Victor said to Sonic. "You came just in time to feed the cat!"

He lunged at Sonic, who used his speed to get out of the way in time.

"Sorry, but this rat's not on the menu!" Sonic quipped as Victor lunged at him again, only for the hedgehog to use his speed once again.

Angel Dust ran at Sonic and swung her left fist at him, but the hedgehog quickly used his speed to dodge the strike. Angel Dust swung her right fist at him, but the hedgehog ran behind her and performed his spin dash attack on her back, sending her flying into a wall.

As Sonic took care of Victor, Deadpool saw Chuck, Chris and Vanessa running to him.

"Are you okay, Wade?" Chris asked.

"Oh, I'm fine." Deadpool said. "Just having trouble getting up! Get me outta here!"

Chuck grabbed Deadpool's left hand, while Chris grabbed his right one, and Vanessa grabbed his left leg before all three began pulling him up from the rebar.

"Oh, that's disgusting." Chris said as his face turned green from seeing the blood spilling on the rebar from pulling Deadpool.

"Hold it in, kid." Deadpool said. "Keep pulling!"

Meanwhile, Sonic dodged another swipe from Victor, but as he sped behind him, Victor quickly grabbed him by the neck and lifted him in the air, pressing his claws into Sonic's neck.

"Drop him!" a girl's voice shouted.

Victor looked behind him and saw an angry Amy swinging her Piko Piko Hammer at him before he can react, hitting him directly in the side and sending him flying into a building and forcing him to drop Sonic, who breathed heavily, regaining his oxygen.

"Are you alright, Sonic?" Amy asked worriedly.

"Never better." Sonic said with a smile and a thumbs up, and Amy hugged him tightly, squeezing the air out of him. "Not again."

As Amy kept hugging Sonic, Ajax emerged from the rubble behind them with a pissed off look on his face. He slowly raised one of his axes and threw it at the two animals. Right before the axe could hit them, Deadpool teleported in front of the axe and swung his blades at it, sending it flying in the air. Sonic and Amy looked back and went wide-eyed at the close call.

"That was way too close!" Sonic said.

"Trust me, blue. I've been there." Deadpool said.

Suddenly, a roar got their attention. The trio looked and saw an enraged Victor baring his teeth and ready to strike.

"Gonna need some help here!" Sonic said as Victor ran at him on all fours.

"I'm a little busy right now!" Deadpool said as Ajax charged at him with his single axe.

"Same here!" Amy said as Angel Dust charged at her, yelling as she did.

Victor lunged at Sonic and roared.

"Gimme your hand!" Deadpool shouted to Sonic.

The blue hedgehog complied and grabbed Deadpool's hand, who then spun him around. Sonic kicked Ajax in the face before Deadpool threw him at the lunging Victor, and Sonic curled up into his Spin Dash form and nailed Victor in the chest, sending him flying into a brick wall.

Angel Dust swung her fists at Amy, who dodged every single one before hitting her in the side with her Piko Piko Hammer, sending her flying into a car.

"Guys, we got company!" Deadpool said to Sonic and Amy as he pointed at the sky.

They saw it was Tails flying the X Tornado, with the machine guns ready.

"Out of the way, guys!" Tails yelled as his friends ran out of the way, and the X Tornado fired the machine guns at the three super villains.

Ajax blocked a few shots with his axes, while a few of them penetrated his body. Of course, he didn't feel anything as he was immune to pain. Victor took cover as he had too many bullets lodged in his torso, but just like Deadpool, he slowly healed.

Angel Dust, on the other hand, took cover behind a car to avoid the shots, but then got an idea. She placed her hands under the car and, using her super strength, picked it up so that it was over her head. Grunting, she threw the car at the X Tornado, but it dodged at the last second.

"Guys, we gotta get outta here!" Chris yelled as he hopped in Chuck's car with him and Vanessa.

"Right behind you!" Sonic yelled as he sped back to the Thorndyke Mansion, while Amy hopped in Chuck's car, who then stepped on the pedal and drove off.

Deadpool took one last glance at Ajax, glared, and hopped on his motorcycle, riding after his friends.

"They're getting away!" Victor yelled as he was about to run, only for Ajax to stop him. "What the hell are you doing?!"

"Let them go for now." Ajax said. "Besides, did you see the way Wilson looked at me?"

"Yeah." Victor said.

"He's gonna look for me for a way to fix his little mug." Ajax said. "And when he does, we'll know how it's gonna turn out."

Victor suddenly grinned, and chuckled darkly. Angel Dust then joined in.

"This is gonna be fun." she said.


Oh, no! What do these villains have in store for our hero? Will Deadpool get his cure? Find out in the next chapter! Sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen. I was busy coming up with another chapter for my recent story, The Spider and the Hedgehog. Anyway, as always, stay tuned!
