PLEASE REVIEW MY ISSUES!


X-Terminators Issue 5 April 10th, 2001
And now a Repast




"Your failures are aggravating. I tolerate only so much. Is this how you repay me? By repetitive failures? Lykos, you lead these pathetic wretches, I accept a degree of professionalism from you at least. You are a veteran. I did not re-awaken your mutant powers so you can lead my Alliance of Evil on endless missions of failure. I gave your life back so you could lead my Alliance to greatness, glory and most importantly, VICTORY! BUT NO! You choose to run, mind you I understand you were beaten senseless by the X-Terminators. I grant you that when Strobe died you were shorthanded and that would have been an acceptable reason to fall back and analyze the situation. However you didn't make sure the heroes couldn't follow you. So, not only did you flee, you lead a team of mutant superheroes to our Brazil compound, allowed them to beat you again there, lost two more members of the Alliance to Reignfire, lost our compound, and were once again forced to flee."

Sauron, Tower and Throwback are shown kneeling in a chamber. At the head of them was a throne, atop the thrown was the man who berated the trio now.

"Now, after your endless failures, I not only don't have an alliance anymore, but a god damn trio, but I have lost three members of a group I have been training for sometime. Disappointment is the least expressive word I can think of to describe my emotional state of mind towards you three at this time. Throwback, Tower. You two are to recruit new mutants to join the Alliance. We need to be full strength before we attempt this again."

Sauron's bowed head raised, "And what of me master?"

"You?" The man's voice dripped with rancor, "You my most prized pupil? You my most precious shame? You are fined to your room until I have decided whether you are fit to lead this group anymore. I don't give second chances often. But for now leave me the sight of you is making me sick."

With that the three mutants slowly got up and left to fulfill their orders.


"Guido I don't know why I even agreed to come shopping with you. Quit splashing in the fountain." Alison Blaire stood, hands on her hips, looking at Guido splashing around the mall fountain looking for a quarter.

"Oh have some fun. This is a blast. Ok, Ok , I'll get out. You don't have to act like my mom though. Sheesh!"

The two had decided earlier that shopping was just the thing they needed to cool off after their first mission. They had been in the mall for a few hours and Dazzler had already began regretting her decision. "Come on, I want to go get those Jeans on sale and get out of here." Guido reluctantly followed.

Suddenly a girl ran into Guido. "Excuse me! Hey you're big! Can you help me?"

The little girl looked at Guido hopefully, "What kinda help do ya need princess? Lose track of your parents?"

"No, something is chasing me."

"Chasing you? Why on earth would anyone chase you? Where is it?"

Suddenly a growl erupted from the food court and Guido and Dazzler turned to see tables and chairs flying everywhere. Dazzler quickly put the girl behind her as Strong Guy ran towards the food court, as people fled in the opposite direction.

"RUN FLATSCANS! PUNY MORSELS ALL OF YOU! CALIBAN DON'T CARE FOR FLATSCANS! WHERE IS LITTLE GIRL WHO BUMED INTO ME? HERE GIRLIE! I JUST WANT TO PLAY WITH YOUR HEAD!!"

Caliban was berserk. Guido whistled loudly, "Hey tall pale and dead looking! They serve some bad chilli and didn't give you a refund?"

Caliban turned and flared his fangs, "STRONG GUY! X-factor here? GOOD ME WANTS TO CATCH UP ON OLD TIMES! NOW COME HERE AND PLAY!"

Guido dodged as Caliban dove towards him, claws inches from ripping open his chest. "Oh, come on Caliban, you must not be keeping up on your current events. I am an X-Terminator now. X-factor hasn't been around for awhile. It's ok, I can still speak on their behalf, I used to be the good looking one in that group."

Caliban dove again and Strong Guy slammed his fists down on his back, sending Caliban's jaw smashing into the floor of the food court. "KEEP TALKING! CALIBAN LIKES YOUR WITTY REMARKS! REMINDS ME OF BOOMER! NOW HOLD STILL GGGUUUUUUUUUUUIIIIIDOOOOOOOOO!"

Caliban lunged and his claws embedded themselves into the flesh of Strong Guy's shoulder. Guido gritted his teeth and grabbed Caliban by the throat. "DON'T YOU GET IT CALIBAN? YOU NEVER WERE GOOD ENOUGH TO WERE AN X! YOU COULDN'T CUT IT BOY! AND NOW? WELL NOW YOU JUST PISSED ME OFF!!!"

With that Strong Guy, holding Caliban by his throat, slammed the mutant into the sushi bar head first, knocking him out. "GUIDO, I mean STRONG GUY! ARE YOU ALRIGHT!"

Dazzler was running up to the scene as Strong Guy pulled one of Caliban's nails from his shoulder. "Oh me? Just fine girl, now aren't you happy about coming to the mall? And you, wanting to leave not ten minutes ago, we would have missed all this fun!"

"I'm calling Alex and having him send a transport over and we need to get Forge to look at that shoulder, we don't want you to start looking like Reaper."

Guido smiled, "Now, Alison Blaire! Was that a joke I just heard?"
