'…' telepathy

Smirking as he tossed the unconscious man into the police station Peter looked at the struggling symbiot that was suspended within his web-net.
\\ What should we do with it?//
\\ You could store it someplace safe…//
" No I have to destroy it, if it is still alive someplace it can find it self a new host, or some how reach Brock again."
\\ master It would be detrimental to the host body if the symbiot was destroyed…//
"huh?"
\\ The one known as Eddie Brock has been with the symbiot for too long, separating him from it now will cause great damage to his immune system and mental stability…//
"…"
\\ Master ?…//
"So how can I stop him if I can't destroy the symbiot… Brock will always be a treat…"
\\ That may be so master, but we are more powerful, there is no need to worry…//
"… Maybe…"
+++++++++++++++++++++
" Hmmm, so you want to join the X-men …"
" Yea… I … realized lately, that for my mission to succeed I need to work with a group that has the same mission as I…"
Smiling Charles looked at the man before him.
" Well peter welcome to the X-men…"
Smiling as he shook the Professor's hand, Peter mentally agreed with his symbiot that this was the best thing to do.
" Well, welcome to the team my friend."
Smiling at his blue friend, Peter walked over to him and answered.
" It's good to be apart of the team…"
"Professor, wolverine has just contacted us… it would seem that magneto was being attacked by two … Aliens or something like that."
Frowning Charles nodded and started to direct his wheel chair towards the room that his treasured Cerebrio was located.
+++++++++++++++
Smirking as he faced off against the silver haired boy, Wolverine cheeked on Ranma as he started to transform and take to the air.
" Well bub it seems like it's two against one … wha … where did magneto go?"
Smirking at the confused mutant, Shin started to manipulate the time around so time moved faster for him than it does for every one else.
Snarling as he spotted the fleeing form of Magneto Wolverine turned to the glowing fool before him and snarled even more.
" That's it Bub, I was going to take it easy on you but now I'm mad"
++++++++++++++++++
Ranma was smiling, it wasn't a friendly smile at all, but it was a smile that screamed payback.
" I don't know who you are but you attack Ucchan and Nabiki… and it is never right to pick on someone weaker than you"
Yawning a bit Cobalt transformed into a identical version of Ranma and then smirked.
" Yea well let me enlighten ya kid, I didn't attack your friend but I cant say I saved them cause I wanted to… I saw a mutant so I attacked it… you're a mutant too so…"
Snarling as he realized that this guy must have some grudge against mutant, Ranma frowned as a thought finally made it to his brain.
" … but why would you want to attack mutants when you're one too?"
Snorting at the boy before him, Cobalt took a fighting stance that was definitely anything goes.
\\ What tha… how would he know Anything Goes//
" The last thing I am is a mutant foolish boy, I am on this pathetic planet because of orders to destroy your pathetic kind so don't worry about what I am, for your about to see what it's like in the afterlife."
Storing the information he had just got in the back of his head for the moment, Ranma also took up a stance that was mainly defensive.
" Ok… come on…"
+++++++++++++++++++
Focusing on the mutant activity in Japan Charles frowned as he sensed the agitation of Ranma and the frustration that Ryoga was feeling, and finally the hate that wolverine was radiating at the moment.
\\ what is going on…//
Taking off the helmet Charles made his way towards the lobby where the other X-Men were waiting for news.
\\ I better send Scott and Rouge over there maybe Peter would like this to be his first assignment as an official X-Man…//
At that last thought professor X smiled at the irony of the whole situation.
" Professor is everything okay?"
Smiling at Jean, Charles looked over the group and then answered.
" I have no idea… but they need help, I want Cyclops, Rouge, and consider this your first mission Peter."
Smirking at the professor Peter took the X badge that was handed to him by beast and grinned.
" I wont let you guys down… I will do my best always, and once again thank you for having me in your group."
" Hey don't worry about it spidey, you're an X-men now we have your back."
Saying this Gambit left the room leaving with a smirk on his face.
" o yea and go get em for me ma cheery"
With that he winked at the flustered Rouge.
+++++++++++++++++
He was angry, no he was beyond angry, for some reason his opponent seem to just faze out and appear somewhere else as if he was teleporting.
" Arghhh Stand One Place and Fight Me Like A Man!!"
Smirking at the enraged man, Shin yawned a bit and replied.
" Why should I? You're just a stupid mutant that I must kill… so, good bye mutant."
" That's your opinion Bub but I'm about ta make mince meat outta ya."
Raising an eyebrow at the upstart mutant before him, Shin chuckled and started to form a ball of energy within his hand.
" Well lets see if your good enough to make mince meat out of me, Mutant."
Smirking Wolverine unleashed his claws and advanced upon the chuckling figure.
++++++++++++++++
Grunting as his opponent once again pummeled him with the Amaguriken, Ranma made a note to avoid close combat.
\\ Only way for me to win is if I use my mutant power… but he would only mimic me and I would be in the same position I'm in now…//
Frowning as his opponent changed into a being that was nothing but energy, Cobalt stepped back a bit uneasy at this new development.
\\ Hmmm he seem to have great potential in energy conversion… but how good is he now… and if I mimic him again would I be able to access as much energy as him…//
Smirking Ranma levitated into the air relishing in the power that he now controlled.
" Ok let's try this again."
Smirking at the mutant before him, Cobalt nodded and took up a loose stance.
" Bring it on Mutant"
Floating till he was just barely over the ground, Ranma nodded and glided at a moderate pace towards his opponent that looked identically to his male form.
Moving into a defensive stance, Cobalt watched as the mutant started to focus more energy into his body which immediately resulted in a yellow blur that was heading straight to him.
\\ Damn how am I gonna beat him.//
Grunting as he was punched in the stomach then had his leg swept from under him, Cobalt growled as he heard the chuckling and taunting from his foe.
" You aren't so though now aren't you, you're no match for Ranma Sao…"
\\ Ahh so that's it huh…//
Smirking as he saw the mutant falter for a moment, Cobalt took his opportunity and transformed his hand into a blaster rifle.
+++++++++++++++++++
Smirking as he placed the X badge on his shirt and then willed the symbiot to leave the badge expose, Peter glanced to his right to see the Atlantic Ocean below.
\\ Do you think everything will be alright master?//
' I guess… but I have a bad feeling about all of this…'
" So Peter, I've been wondering…"
Stopping his conversation with his symbiotic partner, Peter looked to the leader of this mission and asked.
" Ohh… and what are you wondering?"
Looking at the controls for a moment, Cyclops switched on the auto pilot and faced his new team member.
" I was wondering about the new suit…"
Smiling as he looked at his symbiotic suit, Peter replied.
" Ohh… well when… Mary… Jane was killed… I created an advanced symbiot to help me defeat Venom and Carnage…"
Looking at Peter In a bit of awe, Rogue looked towards Cyclops and then asked.
" Uhm I know defeated Venom, but what about Carnage…"
Nodding his head also, Cyclops also voiced his agreement.
" Yea, I would really like to know what happened to him also."
" Well we haven't found Carnage yet… but you can be sure that when we do they will pay dearly…"
Raising an eyebrow at the 'We' comment, Cyclops nodded his head and looked at their location on the Black Birds GPS system.
" Well thanks for sharing that with us Peter, we will be reaching our destination within two minutes… and remember Where a team now, you don't have to do things alone…"
\\ After all Wolverine does enough of that…//
Nodding her head, Rouge walked towards the Door of the Black Bird.
" That's right sugar, and right now we got a job to do, Open up when ready Scott."
Smiling at the two Peter mentally ordered the symbiot to be prepared and also got out of his seat.
" Yea well thanks guys…"
+++++++++++++++
" Chrono Ball!!"
" Missed me, Rookie!!"
Running on the fence towards his opponent, Wolverine idly dodged the weird energy ball's that was being directed at him.
" Is that all you got?"
Chuckling at the mutants antics, Shin once again formed a ball of temporal energy within his hand and answered.
" I'm just starting mutant, but it seems that you want me to pick up the … Tempo."
" Yea whateva."
Flipping off the fence and performing a 360, extending his claws in the process.
" Eat this Rookie!!"
Rolling out of the way, Shin gawked as the wall behind him got shredded by the adamantium claws.
\\ Ok so I underestimated him…//
" Take this Temporal Storm!!"
holding out the globe of temporal energy, Shin started to release dozens of miniature chrono balls at amazing speed's.
Dodging the attacks to the best of his abilities, barely evading some of the closer blast's wolverine finally reached close enough to try another attack.
Frowning as the mutant weaved through his attacks, Shin started to change his view on the mutant.
\\ he's better than I thought… but I need to get rid of him fast…//
" I've had enough of this!!"
forming a fist with his right hand, Shin started to summon more temporal energy while keeping up his Temporal Storm attack.
\\ I have to finish this… I haven't gathered this much energy in centuries… how is it possible that this… pathetic mutation of a genetic code, fight me to a stand still….//
"Arrgggggghhhhhhhhhh, It's Over!!"
Stopping his Temporal Storm attack, but thrusting his palm out at the same time, Shin released one of his accession techniques.
" Centuri Blast of the Ancients!!"
Smirking as the purple energy streamed out of his palm, Turning into a deep black as it raced towards the mutant that was distracted by final parts of the Temporal Storm, Shin collapsed in exhaustion.
\\… I won…//
++++++++++++++
Blinking as he was reminded of the fact that he had been out caste from his clan, Ranma looked down at his hand's that at this moment expressed the reason why he had been kicked out. \\ A mutant…//
" I got you!!"
Looking up in time to see the shape shifter fire a blast of energy at him, Ranma smiled and stood his ground.
\\ … no time to mope around, this is the perfect time to test out Cologne's theory.//
Smirking as the mutant stayed in his position, Obviously shocked from his attack, Cobalt started to focus a large amount of energy within the blaster.
" And now it's time I end this!!"
Grunting as he was hit with the blast, Ranma looked at the now smiling form before him and smirked.
" I don't think so…"
Forcing the energy that he had just absorbed to his hand, Ranma cackled with joy and released it upon his shocked opponent.
++++++++++++++++++
Switching on the cloaking system Scott landed the Black bird a few miles from the location of the ongoing fight.
" Let's hurry guy's, Rouge up for giving me a ride?"
" Of course sugar."
Flipping out of the jet, Peter looked around and smirked.
\\ hmmm my first time to Japan… hehe well watch out for you aint facing Spiderman but the evolved version… Midnight Crawler!!//
Flipping onto a light post, Peter watched as Scott and Rouge left the Black Bird.
" Spidey!! They're two miles north of here."
Nodding at Scott Peter leapt off his perch with a shout.
" It aint Spiderman anymore Cyclops its Midnight Crawler!!"
+++++++++
Opening her eye's, Akane smiled as she saw the handsome young man before her.
" Are you here to take me to the master?"
Smirking at the Tendo girl, Cypher nodded his head and watched her for a moment his eyes glowing with energy.
" Follow me, we will need your help to get rid of some of your old friends…"
Walking behind the red head, Akane glanced at the tube's that held Shampoo, Mousse and Genma.
\\ Hmmm it seems that ill be having help in my tasks… but I wonder…//
+++++++++++++
Smirking at the Tendo girl, Teka looked at her master that was currently sipping a glass of Zorkanian wine and asked.
" Are you sure she will do master?"
" You have gotten your order's Teka… but to make sure, go along with her to Nerima… and recruit this Kuno fellow, and help Shin and Cobalt while your at it."
Bowing her head Teka looked at the bowing form and then at the red head.
" Come on Tendo, and see you soon love"
Blushing a bit at the attention his master was giving him, Cypher looked away and grumbled about stupid witches.
" Is that away to talk about your wife?"
Bowing to his master, Cypher replied.
" Uhn no master…"
Laughing at his servant, the master as he was called turned his chair and watched the view screen.
" I want you to destroy these X-men…"
" Master?"
" I want you to take Genma and the Amazons and attack their school… how long till they are ready?"
Thinking for a bit, Cypher then answered.
" We will need another two hours for the two Amazon's and one for Genma… it should take Cologne half an hour to reach from the village…"
" Very well… in two day's time you will go to America and destroy them all I will give you all the time needed, but your mission starts tomorrow."
" As you wish…"
T.B.C
Midnight Crawler- symbiotic host- formerly Spider Man- has complete control over the symbiot that leaves him with advance spider senses and more diversity in attacks ( like Carnage). His symbiotic suit is full black with a red spider symbol on his chest.
