The Birth of a Juke Box Hero pt. 10
To Aaron: I'm glad you like Kid Razor. His look was inspired by HBK, his name came from Razor Ramon, and his face paint is Ultimate Warrior-style. I do like your idea but, and this is only my opinion, I think the Rejects is not a very good name. If you're featuring a rocker, especially a mutant rocker, and again this is only my opinion, the group should have a name that's got punch and pizzazz. I have created GI Joes, the English mutant siblings known as Bulldog and Lionheart, both pilots. I'm glad I inspired you. Tell me when you get your stories up, and I'll read 'em! I try to update the story once or twice a month like a real comic book. If you like Kid Razor, read my Misfits fics "Gone Avengin'" and "Halloween Hijinks!" They feature my Evo-tized Avengers. I've never seen Lila Cheney. What kind of powers does she have, and what does she look like?
To Red Witch: More insanity coming your way!
To Wizard1: Who knows where these people get these ideas about Kid Razor? I don't know, people are crazy. When I was a kid, I thought Superman's costume as genius. When I turned seven, I realized it was silly. Yeah, Xantor's a tough mother, but I'll show you how sneaky he gets here. BTW, I got an X-Men guide a couple weeks ago! WHOOOO!!!! I also have a Hulk guide.
To Dylan Wiles: Yeah, in Chapter 3, Scott Lang, aka Ant-Man, mentions that the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame is in Cleveland. Having the final showdown there? Sounds interesting.
To JCKIDSMART: Here's an update!
To HyperCaz: Don't count Razor out yet!
Previously on Birth of a Juke Box Hero: We got to see some reactions to Kid Razor from the average men and women of Cleveland. Meanwhile, the demon known as Xantor was whompin' some Marvel Super Hero butt left and right, despite their best efforts. Kid Razor had prepared a little surprise: Charging his guitar with the mystical energy known as the Power of Rock, he plans to literally stab Xantor in the back, knowing that the mystical musical energy is poison to the demon. Will his plan work? Find out next!

"Hey Xantor!" Razor called. "I hope you finally get my point!" Razor thrust his guitar headfirst at the black-scaled demon. The demon dodged at the last millisecond, shocking the heroes! "WHAT?!"
"No way!" Wolverine yelled.
"Not even Spider-Man could dodge that fast!" Captain America realized.
"What kind of monster is he?" Wanda Maximoff wondered.
"Surprised, Razor?" Xantor smirked. He swatted Razor away. "If you wish to face me so badly..." He closed his hands as if he were in a prayer. He muttered some odd ancient words. Before anyone knew it, Razor and Xantor were glowing, as if they were on a film negative, then in a flash of light, they disappeared. In their place was a clear dome with the ground an odd orange.
Meanwhile, Razor and Xantor materialized in a strange place. It was a round rock platform, with the diameter of a football field. The sky was pink with some orange and white cirrus-type clouds.
"Welcome, Kid Razor. I created this little dimension so we could finish our little war." Xantor smirked. "Your fellow heroes are watching this."
"I've always wanted to be on TV." Razor quipped.
"Heh. You have no idea. You should never challenge an opponent without knowing their abilities." Xantor told the Kid of Rock 'n' Roll. The Juke Box Hero sneered.
"I can still whup your sorry ass." Razor sneered, firing a blast from his guitar. Xantor smirked as he dodged. To Razor's shock, Xantor revealed a shocking talent: He was a shapeshifter, a much more talented one than Mystique. He morphed into the German X-Man known as Nightcrawler. "Nightcrawler" was clad in his classic red-and-black costume. The fake blue mutant teleported away, leaving the trademark smoke, brimstone and BAMF!!!
"What?" Razor looked around. BAMF!!! Razor turned around and was socked in the face by a white tridactyl gloved hand.
"Nice trick, huh?" Xantor mocked. His voice was his normal deep sinister voice. He had no need to imitate Kurt Wagner's German accent.
"Nice outfit." Razor grumbled.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"What?" Thor glared at the dome. "What trickery is this?"
"Amazing! Xantor metamorphosed into Kurt! Not just in looks, but powers as well!"
"I think Xantor's showing off!" Warbird glared.
"He also has shapeshifting in his bag of tricks." Jen wrinkled her nose. "Cheap tactic to me."
"Aw man, Kurt is not going to like this." Cyclops groaned. "He is definitely not going to like this."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Hey Xantor, quit with the cheap tricks!" Razor growled. He had to flip and think on his feet constantly to avoid Xantor's teleportation. "Well at least I know you won't have problems coming up with a costume for Halloween, that's for sure!" Razor groaned.
"Your sense of humor is great, but it's not a very strong weapon." Xantor decided to switch forms. Razor watched in amazement as Xantor morphed from Nightcrawler to a man in a yellow-and-green costume with a lightning bolt star-shaped mask.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Electro!" Spider-Man wheezed. "How'd Xantor..."
"He must've probed our minds somehow." Iron Man reasoned.
"Learned about our opponents, our powers, their powers...and Razor probably has never heard of a lot of these people." Warbird responded.
{If Jubilee was watching this, she'd flip out.} Wolverine thought.
"Razor's at a huge tactical disadvantage." Cyclops stared at the dome.
"Hey, I can hear you up there!" Razor's voice came from the dome.
{If he can hear us, then...} Spidey reasoned. "Razor, that's Electro! An old, dear friend of mine. We were once roommates. Guess why they call him Electro, kid!"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Oh, between the lightning bolts on his costume and his name, I think I figured it out." Razor groaned.
"I hope this puts a charge in your batteries!" Xantor laughed as he fired a few thunderbolts, forcing Razor to put up his forcefield.
"Typical bad guys. Always cracking stupid puns." Razor groaned. "The Kid of Rock is tired of this stuff!" He used his guitar to bounce a thunder blast back at Xantor. "You're just like the AC/DC song, baby: You've been Thunderstruck!"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Ugh! And he laments about how the bad guys crack bad puns." Ronnie Rocker groaned. "Hey Razor, your song puns aren't much better!"
"At least my puns are original, pal!" Razor snapped back.
"He does have a point. I've never heard that one before." Johnny Storm shrugged.
"And it does go well with the whole 'superhuman rocker' thing he has going on." Jen agreed.
"Hah! The Kid of Rock proves he's a fantastic comedian! Whoo!"
"Yeah, but you're still short, kid." Jen laughed.
"AT LEAST I NEVER BONKED MY HEAD ON THE DOOR FRAME!!!" Razor snapped back.
"That's low, kid. Real low." Jen pouted.
"QUIT FLIRTING AND GET BACK TO KICKING XANTOR'S ASS, YOU GOOFBALL!!!!" Ronnie snapped.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Nag, nag, nag!" Razor mocked in a high voice. "Whoa!" He narrowly dodged a super-fast attempt at a shoulder tackle! "Who're you impersonating now? The Flash?" Xantor had morphed into a man with short, sleek white, almost silver hair, a sleek body, and wearing a light blue and dark blue costume with a silver lightning bolt streaking across the chest.
"Pietro!" Wanda covered her mouth in shock.
"Pietro? Sounds like a name for a running shoe." Razor raised an eyebrow.
"No! Pietro is my twin brother! He's known as Quicksilver because of his speed!" Wanda exclaimed.
{Well, if he's so fast, then that means he can't take much of a hit.} Razor reasoned. "What's his best speed?"
"175 miles per hour." Wanda said. Razor sighed.
{Dammit! I bet Rip Quicksilver could hit 200! Well, I can kiss ten bucks goodbye.}
"She sounds offended." Xantor noticed.
"Well, you are impersonating her brother." Razor groaned. "Dipstick." Xantor prepared another super-speed strike. He ran towards Razor with immense speed. The Kid of Rock with almost exact speed, slid to the side, and wrapped his arms around the fake Quicksilver's neck, using an energy- charged guitar to choke him. Razor could hear the hiss of the energy burning the demon.
"AAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!" Xantor screamed in pain.
"This should shut you up." Razor growled. He could feel the Power of Rock burning Xantor alive.
"Keep it up, Razor! Just hold him for a couple more minutes!" Ronnie cheered. Xantor struggled, and with great effort, he managed to throw Razor over his shoulder hard. "No!" Razor hit the ground with a SLAM!!!
"AAAAGH!!!" Razor screamed. He managed to thrust his guitar in the air, hitting the black demon in the eyes.
"MY EYES!!!" Xantor screamed. His throat was healing up, not as fast as Sabertooth or Wolverine, but he still was healing. Xantor watched as a blurry Razor got up, readying another strike. Xantor transformed into a woman with long blond hair, wearing a white costume, with odd blue paint patches over her face.
"Kid, look out! He's turned into Dazzler!" Wolverine exclaimed. Xantor clapped his hands together hard, creating a flash of bright light. Razor put his hands over his eyes, but not fast enough.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHH!!!!! MY EYES!!!" Razor screamed. "I CAN'T SEE!!!" Razor cursed and screamed as Xantor fell to his knees, recovering from the choke he received. Razor also fell to his knees, trying to get his sight back.
"Razor's been blinded!" Storm exclaimed.
"Xantor must have blinded Razor so he couldn't press his attack." Reed Richards mused. Wolverine unsheathed his claws angrily, snarling.
"It all depends on which one of them recovers first." Ronnie sighed. "And I hope it's Razor.
Razor's on his own and blinded! Both he and Xantor are down for a while, but only for a while knowing them! Xantor has knowledge of every hero and villain, as well as their powers! Razor only has his agility, reflexes, and wits. Can Razor get to his feet and get his sight back in time? Can the other heroes find a way to help him? Find out in the next chapter!
