X-Terminators Issue 4 April 7th, 2001
BLOODBATH part 3


Brazil. Not two hours ago, the X-Terminators and the Alliance of Evil had all but finished a battle that had left the X-Terminators victorious. But before the Alliance could be locked up, Zero had come and bodyslided the Alliance away with the Terminators following close behind.

Two hours have passed where the X-Terminators and the Alliance have been battling it out again this time in the Alliance's compound. Twenty minutes ago an odd thing occurred. Reignfire, out of nowhere came down from the sky and ordered Forearm and Wildside to return with him immediately. The MLF attacked the Terminators briefly while the two evil mutants reluctantly returned to the MLF. Reignfire then looked at Reaper, and issued the time limit of one month to decide his fate and rejoin the MLF or his head would be on Reignfire's wall. With that the MLF departed, leaving the Alliance shorthanded and outnumbered.

Havok, "Well, this has just gotten a little easier for us. Sauron, turn yourselves in and save us the trouble of having to kick your ass again."

Sauron was flying in the air above Tower and Throwback, waiting for something. "You know Havok, the differences between you and me are to vast to discuss at this time but the most glaring difference is patience. I have patience you do not. While you expect us to give up and come peacefully I expect to flee and fight again another day, you may have won today, but tomorrow I may be the one telling you to come quietly. ZERO! GET US OUT OF HERE!"

With that Tower, Sauron and Throwback bodyslide away.

"DAMN THEM," Havok turns and looks around the compound. "Dazzler, Strong Guy. I want you two to look around this place for a ride home. Lorna, I want you to go through the files in this place for any information that may be useful. I want us out of here and on our way home in twenty minutes people!"

Twenty minutes later.

"How is the flying goin Allison? You handling this thing ok?" Just then the Helicarrier shook from left to right.

"Uh, like riding a bike Alex, like riding a twenty ton flying bike."

Alex sits down in a chair and puts his head back.

Reaper and Sienna are in the back.

"Baby, it was an accident. You couldn't have known she would die from that. There was nothing you could have done, even Alex said it was an accident."

Sienna was being cradled in Reapers arms, tears running down her cheeks. "I keep telling myself that, but when the thing is that isn't the matter. It is just that before, I had killed indiscriminately if it suited my purpose. And after I decided to change I thought that if I had to kill someone I would but I thought I would feel remorse. I don't feel anything and that scares me. Am I just doomed to be this way? To not care?"

"Don't you see Sienna? You do care, or else you wouldn't be worried about this now. You have changed more than you think you have babe. You are the woman I love and that you would even care about not feeling anything means you care. You just are not interpreting it the way expected."

Sienna leaned closed to Reaper as he rocked her back and forth in his arms.

Alex was relaxed. The tension from the fight had wore off, his team had won, even though the bad guys got away. No one was hurt, physically. And the team functioned together as a single unit, which was much more then he had expected from Reaper and Sienna. And now that it was over he… a noise sounded in under the seats across from him.

"Who's there?" Havok quickly got up, juices flowing, waiting for action. Suddenly the cushions part and out comes a familiar face.

"Stop, don't do anything! I'm sorry I snuck onboard but I had to get away. Please."

Havok stared in disbelief. "Tempo right? I heard about you from Cable, he said you helped him out one time when it wasn't in your interest to do so. You also are a member of the MLF, old and new. Why shouldn't I lock you up right now?"

"Because I was only forced to help Reignfire because he had my husband. He killed him yesterday to teach me a lesson. I left as soon as he came to get Wildside and Forearm, he has something big coming up and he needs his troops. Please don't lock me up I just want to get away from him."

Alex looked at her intently and decided she was telling the truth. "You know he will come after you. The best I can do is offer you protection. If you join us and agree to help us then we will protect you against Reignfire. And any information you can supply us will be greatly appreciated."

Tempo looks up with tears in her eyes and smiles as she nods her head in agreement.


Miles away. Reignfire sits on his thrown pondering something. Ever since he returned from gathering his wayward children something has bothered him, something seemed off. Suddenly he looks up and a smile passes onto his face. "My little Tempo, you finally have shown the courage I always wanted you to. I just wish you had chosen my side to stand at when you did. Oh, well, your time of reckoning will come little one."
