Along the ridge overhanging the battle scene, the youngest of the Yautja hunters examined his prey. He had found the group of Humans that had wounded him previously. The United States Marine Corps Space Aviator Cavalry, 58th Squadron, also known as the Wildcards, were doing the best to hold their section of the wall to keep out the Borg. There were only four of them now, but they had wounded him grievously, and he was not in a very forgiving mood. The sensible thing for him to do would be to go in for a quick kill followed by retrieval of his selected trophy. Then he could go and give some serious attention to his wounds. Not the best of hunting stories, but it would be enough to let him keep his honor.
But then, next to the 58th Squadron, he saw the rocky frame of the Thing chucking massive boulders at the Borg like they were marbles. Such a spectacular trophy would do much to salve over his previous errors.
Sitting on his haunches, he had to reach over with his arm to steady himself due to the blood loss he had suffered. Using his plasma shoulder cannon, he fired a shot right into the middle Wildcards, sending them flying in every direction.
Ben Grimm, known as the Thing, turned in the direction the blast came from just as the young hunter fired his spear gun at him. Seeing the projectile, Grimm reached out to grab it, trusting in his durable hide to keep him safe. Having the spear pierce half of its length through the palm of his hand was not what he expected.
"Son of a - Alright, buddy, now you're definitely asking for a clobberin'!"
The young alien hunter threw a Smart Disc, which was an extremely sharp, durable frisbee-like weapon at the rocky skinned Thing. Grimm, knowing now that he shouldn't trust his own durability against this new enemy again, picked up a large sized rock with his uninjured hand. As the lethal disc neared, Grimm struck, knocking the disc so that it dug itself deep into the ground.
"Hah!" stated the Thing. "Put that in your pipe-" Before he could finish, a net slammed him backwards into the ground, wrapping around him tightly. "A net? You think you can hold me down with a net?" Then the net began to constrict. "Argh! Tough net. Tough as this spear you stuck me with, I bet." Using the sharp end of the spear that was still sticking out of the back of his hand, Ben Grimm began to cut his way free of the net. "If this is what it feels like for Wolverine, he can keep the 'claws coming outta the hands' gig to himself."
He looked up just in time to see a plasma blast hurtling toward his head.
"Nyet!" The noble Colossus of the X-Men jumped in front Ben Grimm, attempting to block the blast with his organic steel body. Unfortunately, it knocked him back into the Thing with such force, it embedded both of them into the wall they had been building as well as knocked down a small section. Another blast embedded them even further as well as partially stunning them.
The Yautja hunter landed a few yards in front of them, stumbling to his knees before forcing himself to get back up again. Flexing his wrists, twin blades on each arm came to bear even as his camouflage field turned off. "Now you're definitely asking for a clobberin'!" came Grimm's words, repeated back to him, slightly garbled.
Groaning, Ben looked up. "I'm not going to be killed by some damn alien parrot!" He tried to pull himself free, but it was taking some effort and he didn't have the right leverage to work with. "Hey, kid! Colossus! Shake it off and get back into the game!"
The Russian mutant, who was still recovering from being hit by the drone of Samson and sent flying into the midst of the heroes, mumbled something in his native language about some girl named Illyana.
"You better have a permit for that," spoke a calm voice with authority.
Whirling around, the alien hunter lashed out, knocking the high-powered weapon out of Agent Kay's hands. Agent Kay leapt back to keep from being disemboweled with the next swing.
Lt. Col. T.C. McQueen, leader of the Wildcards, with his blood pouring out of him, managed to painfully bring his weapon up and fired, hitting the young hunter in the arm.
The Yautja roared in pain and anger. Turning, he fired his plasma cannon mounted on his shoulder, instantly wiping McQueen from existence.
"Kay! Catch!"
Agent Kay caught the Little Cricket Agent Jay had tossed to him, and then ducked down low to the ground to avoid another strike from the Yautja. Using the Little Cricket from his position on the ground, Kay fired. The firing of the Little Cricket rolled Agent Kay backwards, but even more apparent was that the blast knocked the young Yautja up and over the wall where he landed hard on the ground.
The fall damaged his breathing apparatus which he had to pull off with his one good arm. Sensing someone approaching, he lashed out with his wrist blades, he sliced off the newcomer's legs at the knees. Sitting up, he was surprised to note that his victim was one of the slow-moving cyborgs. He also realized that his attack of the cyborg had drawn the attention of the other cyborgs. He managed to use his shoulder plasma cannon on the nearest drones before it shorted out due to damages from his fall. Knowing that it was hopeless now, he went to engage his self-destruct device only to realize that McQueen's shot had destroyed it.
He reengaged his cloaking field, and prepared to try slip away. Yet the red beams from their tracking eye lit upon him at once, followed by a hail of stun beams.
A hole in the air appeared near to where the Thing was still trying to extract himself from the small crater. He'd used his feet to kick and push Colossus away, but the metal mutant had bumped the spear, which was still in the Thing's hand, leaving him to cuss up a storm that would make Yancy Street proud.
Agents Kay and Jay instantly took up positions to fire on whatever came out of the portal. Det. Nicholas O'Malley, Det. John McClane, Jack Bauer, Agent Fox Mulder and Agent Dana Scully joined them.
Five figures stepped out of the portal. All teenagers. Three girls and two boys.
The lead figure was a long-haired blond girl who was scanning the area, not paying any attention to the people aiming weapons on her.
"Piotr!" she exclaimed as she dashed over to Colossus, saying several things in Russian.
"She called him her brother," said Fox Mulder. "Does anyone here know the rest of these kids?"
I just did a quick scan of their minds, Professor X telepathically shared. I dare not look to far as they appear to be a couple years in my future. They had recently escaped a facility that was experimenting on them. And, according to them, just recently they have enrolled in my school.
The other four kids stood there with their hands raised, looking around wide-eyed at all the mayhem.
I've just shared a brief rundown as to what is happening here as well as provided them with a roster of who is who.
"It's always good to know whose head to bash," Agent Jay remarked as he returned his attention to the wall. In his own head, the names of Magik, Cannonball, Wolfsbane, Psyche, and Sunspot joined the roster that Professor X had given him earlier.
"Kay!" Agent Jay had managed to call out as several Borg-enhanced Velociraptors jumped over the wall taking down one of the Visitor aliens who had been trying to hold the wall.
Sam Guthrie took a step forward before activating his mutant ability and slammed into two of the Velociraptors, one was knocked away while the other was carried up with him.
Sam Guthrie was trying to fly straight, but he had little control over his flying. He was bodily generating a thermo-chemical reaction from the lower part of his body that propelled him through the air. Fortunately, his mutant abilities also included an indestructible, and fortunately invisible, blast shield around him, or he would have been splattered all over long ago.
Also fortunately, the cyborg Velociraptor was on the outside of his blast shield barely hanging on.
Even so, having a carnivorous dinosaur that was your size inches from your face was extremely freaky. Sam didn't dare land among the drones fighting below him, and the wooded area looked threatening, too.
Let me try guide you, he heard in his head.
"Pro'fessor?"
He followed Xavier's advice the best he could given the circumstances. And what he needed was a big target. So Xavier gave him one.
He was aiming for Giant Man's head, but instead hit the giant-first stage drone in the butt. The Velociraptor was pulverized by the impact, while the Giant Man drone only stumbled.
Come back to where your friends are. We will make a safe landing area for you.
"Ah'd appreciate that, sir."
He'd came close to a flying first stage drone that had been called Rocketgirl who had been just about to grab the Rocketeer. His blast past them had knocked them both in a circle and the Rocketeer was able to put some distance between him and Rocketgirl.
As Cannonball flew to the heroes' safe area, two Borg stunners hid him, only barely affecting him. He flew over the wall as slowly as he could, which was not very slow at all, and aimed for the yellow airbag someone had set up for him.
He crashed spectacularly like usual, only the yellow airbag that had absorbed much of his impact, exploded into several small clumps of gelatous masses. As Sam was getting slowly to his feet, he was surprised to see the clumps of things that looked like Jell-O were starting to move together and form two roundish forms. His mental database kicked in a moment later. "Gloop and Gleep, right?"
The two figures gurgled in response.
"Thanks for the cushion. Ah hope it didn't hurt you none."
Sam looked around. Illyana was hugging her brother Piotr. Piotr had reverted to Human flesh so that he could hug her properly. Once the hug was over, they were both talking in fast Russian. Piotr was giving her incredulous looks, shock and surprise that the little girl he had left at home would become this time traveler from his future. Just behind them was the smoking remains of a velociraptor drone with a small purple-ish gray miniature dragon known as Lockheed.
Sunspot was using his superstrength to chuck some large rocks into place where Sam had blown an opening. Behind him, Dr. Mark Greene was trying to help the Thing get the spear out of his hand. Ben Grimm was having none of it. The problem was solved when the Invisible Woman made a large invisible hand grab the spear and pull it out before the Thing knew what was happening. "What a revolting development," he managed to say before passing out from the pain. Sue Richards formed an invisible platform under Ben and floated him over to the triage area while Mark rode along and bandaged the hero's hand.
Rahne Sinclair had transformed into her wolf form and was staying next to Psyche as she tried to make sense of all the smells around her.
"Rahne, I don't think we are in Manchester anymore."
Wolfsbane whined, her fur on edge.
oOoOoOo
Chaos reigned as the walls used to keep the Borg at bay along the villains' side was breached. Some of those that could fly away did so as did the Chameleon Chief and Doctor Polaris. But not everyone was as fortunate. Golden Glider tried to skate her way through the air with her brother, Captain Cold, wearing the deceased Trickster's air-walking shoes. Both were stunned by Borg fire and fell down to the ground. The Borg sent a series of short burst streams of communication to the super android Amazo to entice him to their side. Realizing he had more in common with the Borg than the villains he was allied with, Amazo used his power ring to make a large bottle to contain those around him starting with the Pied Piper, Two-Face, Kanjar Ro, Destro, Matter Master and Brak. As the android began to take to the air, the Pied Piper managed to produce a sound capable to breaking the bottle as well as to blast the android off balance in order to allow the Matter Master to use his wand to turn Amazo into a statue made out of tin. Professor Ivo, Amazo's disturbed creator, pushed through the throng of villains running for cover to fall down and cry at the feet of Amazo.
The most fortunate thing to have happened for the villains at this time was Skeletor's desire to test his new magical ring that had once belonged to the Earth-3 villain known as Power Ring.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! This is wondrous! How I have dreamed to have power like this at my command! My every thought – my every whim – can be made real!" Weapon blasts on his green protective aura around him drew his attention back to the situation at hand. "You would dare to attack me? Then die!"
A wave of emerald energy crashed into the nearest Borg drones, knocking them back into other drones, and so on, until a whole segment of the Borg forces, those that weren't killed or crushed, were nearly a half-mile away.
Those drones that had not been in the direct path of the energy wave continued on in their attack.
"That was incredible, Lord Skeletor!" Evil-Lyn commented as she stepped over to stand at his right side. Daring herself she reached out a hand to touch his arm, murmuring in wonder as her fingers passed through the green aura Skeletor had around him. "Such power…"
"Yes, I know." Skeletor examined the ring tracing his bony fingers over its grooves. "To think that all this power resides within this small ring. It's shape so simple, so perfect, so precious-" There was a sudden barrage upon his person that Evil-Lyn, Tri-Klops and Shadow Weaver had to duck for cover. Beast Man had been a half second too slow, resulting on a quarter of the hair on the left side of his body to be singed off. Panthor, Skeletor's battle-cat had stayed low to the ground, snarling in fury while slashing his claws at the large sparks that landed around him.
"Save us, o great and mighty Skeletor!" begged the small being known as Imp, who had also been responsible for bringing the ring to Skeletor.
"These cybernetic creatures need to mind their betters," snarled Skeletor, as he reinforced his emerald aura around him, before sending out another wave of energy. While the output of energy was larger, the results were less so.
"What? How did they do that?" snapped Skeletor as he noted the few drones that had been taken out in his second attack.
"They are adapting, my lord," responded Shadow Weaver as she floated over to his left side. "That is how they survive and overcome."
Evil-Lyn hissed in anger. Since Hordak's death, the cloaked Shadow Weaver had been vying for Evil-Lyn's position in Skeletor's inner circle of advisors. "That rodent alien that had the ring before you, he seemed to succeed best by using a different attack each time. You must use your imagination, Lord Skeletor, and continuously come up with new ways to destroy them."
"Hmm, you might have something there." Skeletor sent an energy beam into the ground near a group of oncoming drones. The ground liquefied and the drones sank out of sight, and then the ground became solid again. "Ah, now I just have to choose a variety of new death for the remaining drones. Ha! Ha! I like it!"
"Clear the way," yelled a man who rudely pushed past the reptile saurinoid Tung Lasher.
"Who is this?" demanded Skeletor. "Who dares to force themselves into my prescience?"
The redhead man in grey prison clothes scowled at the skull-like visage of Skeletor. "My name is Alexei Luthor. I'm a super-genius and I can tell you how to destroy all those drones on the field right now."
"Oh really?" Skeletor paused in thought, instead of killing the Human outright. Even he had heard of the evil genius of Luthor. "I thought Luthor was bald?"
Alexei spat. He hated how his Earth-1 counterpart, Lex Luthor, was somehow better known than he was even though Alexei had started his vendetta against the Superman in his universe decades before his 'twin', Lex, had the Superman from his universe. "You're thinking of my inferior counterpart, who goes for the more spectacular effects and has a problem killing just for the sake of it."
Skeletor was beginning to like the man. "Tell me your idea. And I might let you live."
Alexei Luthor ignored the threat, and instead turned and pointed. "These are my colleagues: Nemesis Kid and Mist Master."
Nemesis Kid had Scorpia in a headlock with one arm while he kept hold of her lethal stinger with his free hand, all while calmly walking toward them. Behind him came a greenish mist which showed the features of a cruel young man. "You need better guards," the 30th century villain stated calmly as he casually released Scorpia, who stumbled back in embarrassment at the ease in which Nemesis Kid had handled her.
"You may be right," Skeletor said, scornfully, letting his pawns realize that they needed to start showing their full potential or else. "Now what is this plan of yours?" he demanded, irritated to having had a weakness shown just as he had received such wondrous power.
"It involves your ring."
"What? You expect me to trust anyone with-"
"Not at all. You get to use your ring, no one else."
"Then tell me already your plan!" snapped Skeletor.
Alexei fumed inside, but kept his anger in check. "This one, the Mist Master, can turn into any type of gas or vapor. He's the key."
"The key? The key to what?"
"Mist Master can turn into a gas that can liquefy or disintegrate carbon-lifeforms."
"Sure, I know lots of gases that can do that," agreed Mist Master. "But I can't expand large enough to destroy very many of those drones before they let me have it."
Alexei smiled. "And that's where you come in, Skeletor."
If Skeletor's brow could furrow, it would have. "How do you mean?"
Luthor's smirk grew. He was used to spelling out the obvious to others. "Simply put, you use your ring to increase Mist Master's ability to spread himself over a large area, empowering him. As well as making sure he still has the strength to convert into the necessary amounts of corrosive gas needed to wipe out the Borg."
Skeletor tapped the side of his out mouth, literally since he had no flesh on his face. "But what of their cybernetic side that would remain?"
"It would fall to the ground unable to function. It's designed to work only with biological organisms. Without that the units would cease to function."
"I see. Very well, let's give it a try."
Nemesis Kid, the leader of the Legion of Super-Villains, took a few moments to reassure Mist Master, followed by a few lightly veiled threats.
Skeletor used his ring to strengthen Mist Master as the villain dispersed across the field of oncoming Borg drones, and keeping two dozen yards away from where the heroes and villains were fighting for their lives. When he had spread across over two-thirds of the area, Mist Master stopped expanding. "I – I can't go any further," came his wispy words.
"Then do it already!" demanded Nemesis Kid.
"I don't know if I can make the change!" Fear could be heard clearly in the vaporous villain's voice. "I think I'm too spread out!"
"Grrr! Let me then!" snarled Skeletor. Using the power ring, Skeletor poured the necessary power into Mist Master, and then forced the change within him to become the lethal substance necessary to destroy the drones.
"Hey! What the sprock are you doing to me?" came the Mist Master's high-pitched demands wavering in the slight wind. Not only was he now changing into the necessary flesh-dissolving gas, but he was also expanding further than he felt safe.
"What are you doing to him?" demanded Nemesis Kid.
"Making him do his job," pointed out Alexei Luthor. "This has to be done if we are to survive – or win, for that matter."
The darkened green cloud covered the Borg hiding them from sight. The Borg outside the cloud fighting against the heroes and villains along their barricades, turned as one to watch the cloud that had swallowed up their brethren. They turned from those they had been fighting and moved toward the cloud with instruments raised to collect data.
The first stage drones of The Flame and Flame Girl burned away the mist that was coming towards them, protecting the drones of Daredevil, Samson, Green Turtle, Captain Midnight, Lash Lightning and Amazing Man. The drones of The Fly and Pyroman simply flew above the deadly green mist while the drones of Miss Masque, the Shield, Mr. Monster, Hydroman, and The Web all began to have their flesh dissolve, including Atoman, who had been depowered by Neutrax earlier. Meanwhile, the drones of Man o' Metal, Black Terror, Amazing Man and Steel Sterling were indifferent to the mist.
Most of the drones in that area were Sleestak in origin, and none of that species were immune to the corrosive mist.
Near the edge of the cloud, the enlarged form of the hero known as Ant-Man grappled with the Borg nanoprobe infected Giant Man while the villain known as the Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man took a few minutes to recover from his exhaustion. Using one of the many types of wrestling moves contained in the Borg Collective, Giant Man twisted his body and sent Ant-Man flying off and to the ground.
Ant-Man, otherwise known as Scott Lang, skidded to a halt on his back, but not before his left hand entered the green mist of the Mist Master. "Ahhhhhh!" Pulling his hand out of the green cloud, revealed a gory mess. His glove had been totally disintegrated. The skin over his hand was totally gone. Many of the muscles of the hand were turned to a gooey gel with some bone showing in places.
Realizing he might pass out at any moment, Ant-Man shrunk down to ant size and used his helmet to summon a flying ant to take him to the medical triage area. Once he was on the ant and flying, he sent another message by his helmet to the Wasp, so that she could be present so that she could make sure he didn't remain miniaturized once he got there. His other reason for calling her was simply that he knew he'd be in serious trouble if he hadn't. It was up to the Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man to take on Giant Man for now.
"What's going on over here?" Lex Luthor, the bald Luthor from an alternate dimension than Alexei, came barging in with Brainiac right behind him. Having been among the first group here, and since the Master left, Lex and Brainiac had more or less led the villains in all their major decisions. Which was a fact that many of the others thought was chafing to put it mildly.
"What does it look like, Lex? We are wiping out most of the Borg, before they wipe us out!" snapped Alexei. There wasn't any real animosity between him and his bald doppelganger, in fact, Lex was the closest he'd ever come to having a peer. Even when they corresponded with each other across the dimensional barrier that separated their two universes, they never shared their scientific discoveries. It was a matter of trust. Alexei had never trusted anyone, and therefore had no one to share thing with, while Lex had managed to gather a number of villains and form The Legion of Doom. And it was also a matter of social skills; Alexei was fierce and angry, while Lex had charisma and leadership skills when he chose to use them. If Alexei had been able to work with others, he would have been a member of the Injustice Society or formed a group of his own.
"What is Mist Master doing?" demanded the other Luthor.
"He's dissolving the drones," stated the Evil-Lyn, as if addressing a simpleton.
"And Skeletor?" asked Brainiac. "How does he fit in?"
"He's empowering Mist Master with his ring to make it possible," added Nemesis Kid.
"You should have run it by us," insisted Lex. "We could have had more of our heavy hitters prepared to take out more of the drones in the confusion."
"They had breached our barriers! We were being routed! And you wanted us to run it by you first?" snarled Alexei. "The only real problem you have with this is that you didn't think of it first!"
"We have the telepaths set up for communication!" barked Lex. "All you had to do was send a thought to Brain Wave or one of the other telepaths and we'd have been able to confer!"
"There wasn't time for a committee!" retorted Alexei, his face reddening with anger. "And it's done! The Borg have been crippled. By my plan! Not yours!"
"Not completely destroyed," responded Brainiac. He dropped a pellet to the floor that began emitting a gas upon contact, covering the whole area. Taking his blaster, he shot Skeletor in the back of the head, but his protective green aura kept the blast from being lethal yet still knocked him out. Everyone that breathed air within ten yards began to freeze up as paralysis began to take hold of them due to Brainiac's action.
As soon as Skeletor became unconscious, the power beam strengthening and holding Mist Master together went out.
"Nooo!" wailed Mist Master. "I can't…refoooorrrrrrrmmmmm-" Slowly the greenish cloud that was Mist Master began to dissipate revealing a Borg scrap yard. A few drones managed to survive due to being silicone or ferrous lifeforms.
Back among the villains, Lex Luthor managed to look up at his often-time cybernetic ally and ask, "W-w-w why?"
The green complexioned android smiled at perhaps the only friend he could have said to have. "The Borg Queen has contacted me. She has invited me to be her intellectual companion, as a semi-independent non-Borg individual to share and compare insights with. A union, a type of marriage, I suppose. Considering all the intellectual and scientific wealth she has gathered, how could I refuse such a dowry? But since she will be sharing with me all that she has, I realized I should provide her with some token of my esteem. And that is when I thought of you, Lex, the only organic lifeform that I have ever felt to almost be equals with. The way your biological mind works is fascinating. Despite our mutual vendetta against Superman, studying you was the reason I chose to stay on your primitive planet Earth, as well as joining your Legion of Doom. I postulate that the Borg Queen will find you equally intriguing."
Reaching down, Brainiac picked up Lex under one arm. "And how uniquely fortunate I am to actually have two Luthors to give to her." Picking up Alexei, he held under Brainiac's other arm. "And once you are turned into a drone, I'll still be in contact with you. In a way I'll be giving up my bachelorhood, yet still be able to keep my 'best friend' with me. As I understand it, most relationships do not allow for that to happen to a great extent after one marries."
Brainiac stepped over the unconscious cloaked form of Shadow Weaver, pausing just briefly to examine the exposed part of her head. "How unusual. I'll have to do a more thorough examination of you if the Borg manages to capture you intact."
He hurried away with his burden to make his escape in the confusion.
To be Continued!

Original AuThOr'S NoTeS: 4/15/2011
Sorry it's short this time. Dealing with stuff and pain issues. Anyway, I am glad to have dealt with another one of the Yautja hunters (from the movie Predator), so that means I have only two more Yautja hunters on the field of battle. As for the Brainiac being wooed by the Borg Queen, it just seemed very natural for Brainiac, an alien android entity that used to collect alien cities, shrink them down and bottle them for study, to be extremely interested in the Borg, who have collected the knowledge and technologies of thousands of alien races.
As for his interest in Shadow Weaver – there has been much speculation as to her true malformed appearance hidden under her cloak and hood.
Updated AuThOr'S NoTeS: 2-6-2022
I had not planned to add The New Mutants to my story, but I was just tweaking the part about Grimm kicking Colossus off of him. I had Colossus mumble his sister's name. His sister who can travel through time and space. I was like 'dang'. And then I stopped and thought about it for about ten minutes. I decided to go and add them though I am not a fan of the movie. I am, however, a fan of the first volume of The New Mutants comics. I've read them all several times. I was really hoping the people making the movie would do the characters right, but they were so far off base. But like I said, I am going to add them to the story.
