S3 EP10: Brooding heroes

Sup. Coming to you after I finally took down ATOST, like the super awesome superhero I am. I was expecting all of this mutant fighting to be done with, but some mutant heroes named Professor X and Wolverine showed up, saying they need my help. Of course, I quickly agreed.

Right now, Max, Charity, Matt, Gwen, Ben, Logan and I were at some kind of mansion in New York. Xavier was at a computer, explaining everything to the others.

Xavier: "This is the X-Mansion, where we all live. It also serves as a school of sorts, to young mutants that do not fully understand their abilities."

Gwen: "Kinda like that place Azmuth took Tracy to."

Xavier: "Oh? I wasn't aware that campus was already operational. I haven't spoken to Azmuth in several years."

Ben: "YOU know Azmuth?" Xavier nodded.

Xavier: "He and I have become quite good friends, actually. He assisted me in building some of the machinery here, in the mansion."

Logan: "That is so cool!"

Max: "Not that we're not honored to be here, Mr. Xavier, but why are we here?"

Matt: "Yeah, I've been wondering about that, as well."

Xavier: "My apologies, my friends. I asked you all here because I am in desperate need of Trey's help. And all of you, of course."

Charity: "Don't worry about it, Xavier. We're used to people only inviting us for Trey. He's the celebrity hero."

Logan: "Yeah, we're just happy to help our friend out." Speaking of me, I was zooming around the mansion as Sonic, looking at all the cool stuff.

Sonic: "What's this!...Ohh, what's that!...Holy shit, what's that!" I zoomed around so fast that they couldn't keep up.

Charity and Max: "Trey..." I stopped running and slid in front of them, reverting to normal.

Trey: "Sorry. You were saying, Prof. X?" Xavier chuckled.

Xavier: "It is quite alright, Trey. Your behavior reminds me of some of the students. Now, I asked you here because the X-Men have run into a threat that we are unfamiliar with."

Trey: "What threat is that?"

Xavier: "Aliens." We all looked at each other.

Logan: "That makes sense, you called us here because we're the most well-known evil alien fighting team around."

Xavier: "Precisely. We sent a branch of our team to neutralize the alien threat, but they haven't returned yet."

Matt: "So, they're missing and you think it's because of the aliens?" He nodded and typed something, making a picture of a meteor come up on the monitor.

Xavier: "This is a transmission that we intercepted from Area 51, a few days ago. We believe that's how the aliens got onto the planet." We all glared at Charity.

Charity: "What?!"

Logan: "You're supposed to be on top of these alien transmissions, Ms. Bionic technology master." She rolled her eyes, playfully. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder.

Trey: "It's okay, love. Go on, Prof. X."

Xavier: "I sent one of our smartest mutants to the meteor crash site and he collected some data that I think would be beneficial." He pressed another button and some words showed up, "The species is called the Brood. From what we gathered, they are beings of incredible strength and abilities we are still unaware of. We do know, however, that they are bloodthirsty creatures."

Gwen: "What makes you so sure?"

Xavier: "We found a body at the crash site. It was decapitated and completely drained of blood." My eyes widened.

Trey: "They already killed someone? We have to stop them."

Xavier: "Good to know you're on board, Trey." I smiled.

Trey: "I'm always on board when it comes to helping people, dude. When do we start?"

Voice: "As soon as we get a read on where they are." A blue monster walked in. He was wearing black shorts and glasses. I got in a battle stance, along with Logan and Matt.

Trey: "Whoa, what have you been feeding your cat?"

Xavier: "No, no. This is Hank, codenamed Beast. He is one of our smartest team members, as well as one of the strongest." Beast smirked at me.

Beast: "Trey Sergauson, I presume." I rubbed the back of my neck.

Trey: "Yeah, sorry about that whole cat comment, dude."

Beast: "It's no problem, Trey. Nothing I haven't already heard."

Matt: "Is there ass to kick or not?"

Beast: "As if now, no, we simply don't know where these creatures are or where they took out teammates. If we did know, you'd be in your way there." I nodded.

Trey: "So, is there any way to actually find them or are we supposed to just sit and wait?"

Ben: "Yeah, I don't like the idea of some alien just killing people."

Xavier: "I am afraid we are at a dead end, young ones." I groaned.

Max: "We'll stop whatever it is, sport. Just takes time." I sighed.

Trey: "The more we wait, the more dangerous the situation gets."

Meanwhile, in an abandoned cave, not too far from New York. There was a blue, devil looking guy in a cage, equipped with mirrors for walls.

Blue guy: "What is this? Where am I?!" He closed his eyes and tried teleporting out, but he ended up in the same spot.

Blue guy: "Blasted mirrors. Preventing me from teleporting out of here. Wherever here is..." He searched his pockets for something and pulled out a communicator.

Blue guy: "Nightcrawler to X-Mansion, anyone there?"

Communicator: "This *static* Xavier. Kurt, where *static* you?"

Nightcrawler: "I don't know, I'm in some kind of cage with mirrors in it so I can't see where to teleport. I don't remember anything except being knocked out."

Xavier: "Don't worry, Kurt, we'll-" The signal suddenly cut off.

Nightcrawler: "Xavier? Hello? Hello?!" He was suddenly injected with something and knocked out. A red alien entered the cage and snarled.

Alien: "Phase one of the plan has commenced. On to phase two."

Back with us. We were out in the mansion's backyard with a couple of the students. Charity and I were talking to a guy that seemed to be made of ice.

Charity: "So, you can just turn your whole body into ice at will?"

Iceman: "Yup. And it only took about three weeks of training." I smirked.

Trey: "Three weeks? I mastered my ice form's powers the second I transformed."

Iceman: "You aliens think you're so cool." I shrugged.

Trey: "That's because I am so cool, ice boy."

Iceman: "That's Ice MAN! And since you're so convinced that you're better than me, how about an ice battle?" Logan and Matt walked up.

Logan: "You picking fights again, bro?" I chuckled.

Trey: "Nah, just about to school chill pill at his own game. You're on, dude." Iceman and I headed out to an open field.

Matt: "Why partake in this childish bullshit, Kakarot? You know you can beat him."

Trey: "Because it's fun." I glowed green and ice formed around my body, from my feet to my whole body. A black tank top and red track pants appeared, along with the Ultimatrix symbol on my chest.

Trey: "I think Tyson called this form Icepick, I'll call him Celsius. Ready, Frozone?"

Iceman: "It's ICEMAN!" He charged at me, forming his hand into an ice mace. He swung, but I leaped up and kicked him in the face, flipping off of him.

Celsius: "Come on, Elsa, you've gotta do better than that." He shot an ice blast at me, but I formed an ice shield to block it, then charged at him. He turned his hands into spears and slashed at me, but I ducked under both of them and morphed my hand into an ice hammer, then clocked him on the side of his face, knocking him back. He recovered and put his hands on the ground, freezing everything, including me. I got frozen in a block of ice.

Iceman: "What were you saying about being better, alien boy?"

Matt: "Did Kakarot just get beat?"

Logan and Charity: "Wait for it..." A red glow came from the block of ice and I emerged as Ultimate Big Chill.

Ultimate Big Chill: "The flashfreeze move, nice one. But, check this one out." I opened up my wings and started flying around Iceman. He started shooting ice shards at me, to no avail. I flew faster until a fire tornado formed. I stopped flying and landed, making the tornado fade away. There, stood Iceman, frozen solid. I smirked and reverted to normal.

Trey: "I win." I walked over to Iceman and used a Heatblast hand to unfreeze him, then turned my hand normal.

Iceman: "Okay, maybe you aliens are cool." Just then, Ben and Gwen came running out.

Gwen: "Guys, Xavier and Grandpa found something on the alien! He wants you in the lab." I nodded.

Trey: "See you later, chill pill. Come on, guys." I ran into the mansion, the others following me. We got to the lab and saw Max, Beast and Xavier.

Logan: "What's up, guys?"

Beast: "We received a transmission from one of our mutants, just now. He claimed to be in a cage full of mirrors."

Trey and Ben: "So?"

Xavier: "The mutant's name is Kurt Wagner, codenamed Nightcrawler. He has the power of teleportation, but only to the places in his direct field of vision."

Gwen: "I get it, if his cage is full of mirrors, he can't see outside of it. Meaning, he can't teleport out."

Beast: "Exactly. She's a smart one, Max." He nodded.

Max: "That's my girl." I rolled my eyes.

Trey: "If we're done inflating Gwen's ego, can we get back to the alien?"

Matt: "Yeah, I haven't hit anything, all day."

Beast: "Quite right. We tried to track the signal, but it cut out before we could get a full location. However, we were able to trace it to somewhere outside of the city."

Logan: "Good, that's where we should start looking." I nodded.

Trey: "My thoughts, exactly. Logan, Matt and I will head out to scope out the area. You guys stay here and see if you can get a better location."

Charity: "Got it. You guys be careful." She kissed my cheek.

Xavier: "Our first priority is finding Nightcrawler, remember that." Logan and I nodded.

Matt: "My first priority is kicking ass, Kakarot handles the hero stuff." He took off his regular clothes, revealing his hero costume, then pulled his helmet out of a backpack he had with him and put it on. I shook my head, then the three of us headed outside. I called my Ten Speed and it pulled up.

Trey: "Logan and I will survey from down here, you take the skies."

Matt: "Got it." He took off into the air. Logan looked at me.

Logan: "How am I gonna ride with you, it only has one seat." I smirked and pressed a button on the Ten Speed, popping out a sidecar.

Trey: "There ya go."

Logan: "How about you ride in that and I drive?"

Trey: "How about no." I got on the bike and he got in the sidecar, then we took off. I kept my eyes on the road as Matt flew above us.

Logan: "Ya know, your birthday is coming up, Treez." I shrugged and turned a corner.

Trey: "So? Azmuth already told me about my immunity to aging, since I'm an alien. If I'm not getting any older, why make a big deal out of my birthday?"

Logan: "Maybe because it's the day you were born, you dork. We can still celebrate. I know Charity has something she's been dying to give you." He mumbled that last part. I still heard it though, so I blushed.

Trey: "It's still lame as fuck that my birthday is at the end of summer. I mean, I can't even look forward to it."

Logan: "I feel you, broskey." The communicator turned on and we heard Matt's voice.

Matt: "Guys, I'm in the woods and just found something you may want to see."

Trey: "Be right there, dude." I hung up and zoomed off faster until I got to where Matt was. Logan and I got off the bike and walked up to him.

Logan: "Alright, where's this thing that you wanted us to see?" Matt pointed downward. Logan and I looked down and saw what looked like a mutated squirrel with black eyes and pointed claws.

Matt: "That fucking thing attacked me when I landed. Are Earth animals this feral?"

Trey: "Not all of them, no. This squirrel looks like it's been through some shit."

Logan: "What could have done this?" Suddenly, we heard hissing and we were surrounded by miniature creatures that looked like mixtures between reptiles and insects. I glared at Logan.

Trey: "You just HAD to ask." I glowed and transformed into Savage, just as the creatures attacked us. I leaped at one of them, punching it back into a tree. Another one jumped on my back and injected its tongue into me, but I slammed it to the ground, making it release me. Logan called his suit and once it got to him, he shot an electric arrow at a creature, shocking it to the ground. He then picked up a tree with his bionic arm and used it to smash two more creatures. Matt simply shot energy balls at the creatures and they exploded.

Matt: "That seems to be the last of them." Right after he said that, a slightly larger creature got me from behind and started pulling me deeper into the woods.

Savage: "I really wish you guys would shut up!" I became Grey Matter and dropped out of the creature's grip, then became Red-Tail and turned my bracelets into shotgun barrels. The creature ran at me, but I blasted him back as soon as he got to close. It recovered and breathed fire at me, but I was able to fly over it and shoot more shotgun shells at it, stunning it. While it was stunned, I flew up high and became Slapstrike, then dropped down and slammed it into the ground with my giant hands. It laid unconscious in a crater. Matt and Logan came and stood next to me.

Logan: "You okay, Treez?" I nodded.

Slapstrike: "I'm fine, just wish I knew what the hell this was." Suddenly, a snake-like thing slithered out of the creature's mouth and the creature reverted into a regular bear. He chuckled.

Logan: "I can tell you that. It's a bear." I gave him the 'really?' look and looked around for the snake thing. I found it trying to slither away and went Diamondhead, then encased it in a diamond cage.

Snake thing: "Host! Need host!" I created a diamond jar and scooped the snake thing inside, then turned to Matt.

Diamondhead: "Can you get this back to Prof. X?"

Matt: "What?! Why me?!"

Diamondhead: "Because I'm going to continue searching and Logan can't fly, so he won't get there fast enough." He groaned.

Matt: "Stupid useless human." He snatched the jar from me and took off into the air.

Logan: "Your buddy is a dick, bro." I chuckled and reverted to normal.

Trey: "You both are. Now come on, let's find Nightcrawler." He flipped me off and we continued walking into the forrest.

...

A few minutes later, we found a cave.

Trey: "This looks ominous."

Logan: "And we're definitely going in there, right, hero?" I smirked.

Trey: "Of course. Unless you're...scared." I leaned on him, laughing and he pushed me off.

Logan: "Please. I've faced way scarier shit than alien bugs. Remember my ex from 7th grade?" We shivered.

Trey: "Point taken." We walked inside and heard water dripping from the ceiling. My phone rang, making me jump.

Trey: "Speak on it."

Ben: "Trey, Xavier and Grandpa studied that snake thing that Matt brought back. It's some kind of parasite."

Trey: "We figured that part out, Benji. What else?"

Ben: "It apparently needs a host to not only survive, but to reproduce. If it doesn't have a suitable host, it dies."

Trey: "Good to know. At least now we know what that thing is. Thanks, Benster." I hung up and filled Logan in on what Ben just told me.

Logan: "Alien parasite, not so bad." I nodded.

Trey: "Better than an entire invasion, that's for sure-" We heard banging coming from deeper in the cave. We looked at each other, and took off running until we got to some kind of cage.

Voice: "Help!" There was more banging.

Trey: "Logan."

Logan: "All over it." He punched at the cage with his bionic arm, but it only dented. I raised my eyebrow, amused. Logan shrugged and punched it again. Again, it only dented. I snickered.

Trey: "Loges, your arm isn't working. Try using your little leg." He looked offended.

Logan: "Little? I'll have you know, this leg is nothing but pure rock hard, bionic muscle. Check it!" Without looking, he raised his bionic leg and kicked the cage, caving the entire cage wall in.

Logan: "What now, alien boy?" I patted his shoulder.

Trey: "I say that I didn't feel like transforming so I made you do the work, for once." I walked past him, leaving him feeling stupid that I tricked him. I walked inside the cage with Logan and we saw Nightcrawler, sitting in the corner.

Trey: "Yo, dude? We're here to save you."

Nightcrawler: "Get...get away..." Logan and I looked at each other.

Logan: "Sorry, but we went through a lot to save you and we're not leaving until you-" He was cut off by Nightcrawler leaping up and snarling at us. He had black reptilian scales and a lizard tongue. My eyes for wide.

Trey: "He's infected!" Nightcrawler pounced at me. Fortunately, I ducked, but he teleported back and kicked me out of the cage and through a cave wall.

Logan: "TREY! He shot a rope arrow at Nightcrawler, but he snapped right out of it and whipped Logan with his tongue. Logan recovered and grabbed Nightcrawler's tongue with his bionic arm, only to be burned by acid. I stood up and looked around the room that I landed in.

Trey: "Holy shit." Pods were stuck to the walls and there were tubes that flowed parasites into the pods. I turned my arms into Under Wraps bandages and shot them out to open up a pod, revealing an unconscious person. My bandages snapped back to me and I made my hands normal.

Trey: "Oh man, this isn't just a mutant kidnapping...it's a full scale alien invasion."

Voice: "Are you impressed, Arsenal?" I looked around, not seeing anything, "Millions of people on this planet and they will all soon be hosts to my parasitic subjects."

I continued looking around.

Trey: "You know, I usually like to talk to my foes, face to face. Unless you're too much of a coward." Suddenly, I heard breathing from behind me. I turned around, only to be met by a huge Brood alien, roaring at me, its jaws hovering around my head. I took a step back.

Trey: "Wow, you look like you came from the planet DAMN."

Brood alien: "Joke all you want, Doppelganger. I am the Queen Brood! And after I destroy you, nothing will stop me from infecting every species on this planet with my subjects!" She advanced toward me, backing me up against a cave wall. I heard Logan get slammed.

Logan's voice: "Trey, a little help!"

Trey: "Kinda busy!" Queen Brood launched her tongue at me, but I became Ghostfreak and phased right through her, then became Wildvine and threw some grenades. They exploded, but Queen Brood pounced out of the explosion and grabbed me. I made thorns come out of my body, forcing her to release me, then landed on the ground and became Biohazard, then charged at her with the smack hands. I gave her a right hook, then a left one, then turned both my feet into the punk busters and drop kicked her back into the cave wall. She snarled at breathed acid and fire at me, slowing me down, then tackled me back toward Logan and Nightcrawler.

Logan: "What the fuck is that?"

Biohazard: "The big boss. Give me your hand!" He did and flung me at Nightcrawler. I became Cannonbolt and slammed straight into him, then became Web Head and leaped at the queen, who was fighting Logan. Logan ducked under her tongue, giving me a chance to grab the tongue and become Shocksquatch, then send a shock through her whole body, and slam her into Nightcrawler. Logan shot an ice arrow at Nightcrawler and it froze him solid, but the queen got Logan by the neck and prepared a venom blast. I quickly became Void Matter and blasted the queen, making her drop Logan. After that, I became Power House and the two of us charged at the queen. I swung at her, but she blocked and knocked me to the ground. Logan blinded her with a stun arrow, then jumped up and roundhouse kicked her with his bionic leg, making her stumble. I stood up and became Atomix, then sent a nuclear energy ball into her stomach. She was unaffected and summoned tendrils to pick up Logan and I.

Queen Brood: "Pitiful heroes, unable to mind their own business. Any last words?" I struggled more until I stopped and my eyes glowed red. I became a shorter version of a Brood alien with black speedo and the Ultimatrix symbol on my hand.

Trey: "PARASYTE!" I shot out acid breath at the queen and she shrieked, dropping me and Logan.

Parasyte: "I'll take care of the queen, you see if you can stop the flow of her subjects."

Logan: "Got it. Kick her ass, Treez." He took off and I smirked at the queen.

Parasyte: "Ready to go, your majesty?" She snarled.

Queen Brood: "You may have transformed into one of us, but you have no idea if out true power!" She grew wings and took off, flying around the cave. I did the same and took off after her. As we were flying, she breathed fire at me, but I flew around it and summoned tendrils to latch onto her feet and pull her down. Before she hit the ground, she grabbed onto a stalagtite and pounced at me, grabbing my neck. I flew around and kicked her in the stomach, forcing her off me, then shot a venom blast from both my eyes and mouth. She was hit and cratered into the cave wall. I flew at her and wrapped tendrils around my fists, then repeatedly slammed my fists into her stomach. She pushed me back and literally but my arm off, but it regrew and I snarled at her.

Queen Brood: "My children, come to me!" Several infected animals crowded around her, "Now, DESTROY ARSENAL!"

They all came at me at once, and I used my tail to take care of several of them, but one of them knocked me into the control room, where Logan was.

Logan: "How's the fight going?" I shot acid at a creature from my tail, killing it.

Parasyte: "It's progressing. Any luck?" He shook his head.

Logan: "These fucking parasites are using some kind of numbing gas to control the nervous system of these people. This control panel is useless without a gas that's just as strong." I thought about it, then got an idea. I glowed and transformed into Gutrot, with black and red colors and the Ultimatrix symbol on my chest.

Gutrot: "Cover me." I started mixing up a gas inside my stomach, while Logan held off the queen and her subjects.

Logan: "Hurry it up, Treez!"

Gutrot: "Done!" I opened up my stomach and released the gas into the air. Suddenly, all of the infected animals turned back to normal and the parasites slithered into a pile.

Queen Brood: "NO!" I looked up and saw the pods open up, freeing all the people.

Logan: "Way to go, Treez!"

Gutrot: "Alright, your highness, there's a nice cell waiting for you at HQ."

Queen Brood: "YOU WILL NOT DEFEAT ME!" She charged at me, but I became OmniFire and sent a star bolt into her stomach, blasting her host right out of her. Her host was a regular woman. The queen started to shrivel up and eventually died. I quickly threw a star bolt at the pile of parasites, destroying all of them.

Last: "Excuse me, Arsenal. What's going on?" I chuckled.

OmniFire: "You'll feel better after a nap. Trust me."

Nightcrawler: "I apologize for trying to kill you, dear friends. I wasn't in control of my actions." After I saved everyone, we were all back at the mansion.

Logan: "It's cool, I only have a few broken ribs." We laughed at that.

Xavier: "Very good, Trey Sergauson. Oh, and you as well, Logan. Without the two of you, the earth would have suffered another invasion." I smiled and put my arm around Charity.

Trey: "Stopping invasions is what I do, Prof. X."

Matt: "I can't believe you made me miss this fight, Kakarot!" I chuckled.

Trey: "Hey, don't be such a brooder, dude." I snickered but everyone else groaned.

The end

Another episode down. This one was pretty dope, since it had some X-Men in it and also an actual Marvel comics villain. Yes, the Brood is an actual thing. Well, see you guys later. Holla at your boy!
