DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN X-MEN: EVOLUTION OR SLIDERS OR AMERICAN GLADIATORS
NctrnlBst: Well I did post something that said you should check out the site that chapter came from (www.redvsblue.com) and yes you would have gotten it if you had. But that's the main problem I got with this fic, I can only right about what I know, and not everyone knows exactly what I do.
Oh and I write my stories chapter by chapter, but I first have a rough idea for the whole thing, and I think of the scenes ahead of me in advance also.
Red Witch: Please do, trust me you'll love the episodes of Red vs Blue, one of the funniest things ever done.
Raliena: I will I just have to decide on which show to do, or at least drop them somewhere where I can place several of characters from several shows.
Raventwelve: Always nice to hear from new people, and don't forget to check out the past stories to get all the background information too.
yae yang: Trust me the actual episodes of Red vs Blue are much better.
Damn-my-name-was-taken: Well I would have written more but I ran out of ideas.
[AN] Sorry if I kept you waiting I had some writer's block with this story, so I just decided to finish with what I could think up, so it's a little shorter than the rest of them. Plus for fans of the show Sliders, I 'fixed' the problem with that show. (The problem being what they did in the last season)
REALITY TRIP
CHAPTER 6: SLIDERS & GLADIATORS
The group of mutants found themselves in an urban center in an alley. "Great now where are we?" Muttered Logan. They walked out into the street and looked around.
"Well it looks like Earth, so at least we have that in our favor." Jean said looking at the buildings.
They were about to go on and see what this world had when a blue portal appeared near where they had come in. One by one, four people seemed to fly out of it and land not too pretty on the ground.
"Why do I get the feeling things just got to a whole new level of weird?" Vincent asked out loud.
They saw the group help each other up and then noticed that they had been noticed. "Nice entrance bub." Logan said to them with a faint trace of a smirk.
A tall one in the group spoke up first, or tried to find a reason to explain what had happened, and if necessary to cover it up. "Well, us, you see...we...we...uh."
"You guys like come from another reality." Kitty plainly said this caused the group of four to stand there stunned with their mouths open. "Like, join the club, although we seem to have better landings."
They just blinked a few times before the one guy spoke up again. "Come again?"
There were a collection of groans from the mutants. "Having the 'talk' is getting old." Scott said no looking forward to this discussion...again.
"Getting? I though we passed old and had gone into monotonous with the last jump." Vincent said sarcastically.
15 MINUTES LATER
"So let me get this straight." Logan said struggling with everything they had learned. They had all gathered in an open area near some kind of memorial. It looked like to someone in a Roman getup, but no one recognized the name or face.
You were born in an alternate reality." He said pointing at Quinn Mallory, a man with brown hair. "Along with your brother." Pointing at Colin Mallory who did have a resemblance to Quinn, although more taller.
"And both of you were sent into different realities to be taken care of by alternate versions of your parents because their world was at war and they wanted you to be safe. Also you just found out about each other and have been traveling for a while now, in order to find a way to help your world."
"You're doing good so far." Quinn said smiling at him, which was beginning to annoy Logan. "And then...wait...could somebody else finish I'm getting a headache from this."
Scott took it from there. "For a while, you Quinn, were merged with an alternate version of you and your brother was lost between dimensions."
"Yeah we only recently got them back." Maggie Beckett, who they had learned was a military officer in charge of a project to transport as many people off her Earth onto another when her planet was facing destruction.
"You see we found this advanced version of Earth and they were able to separate them, and get Colin back."
"And one of your friends Diana Davis, stayed with the other Quinn in that reality with him, while you guys continued on traveling." Jean spoke up next, finishing her tale.
"And you were a singer Rembrandt "Crying Man" Brown." Vincent said next. "Who got sucked into all of this by accident when Quinn here started this whole thing and accidentally made that portal thing too large and you literally drove into it."
"You better believe it." Said the former black singer.
"Logan, are ya alright?" Rouge asked looking at him with his head in his hands.
"I need a drink, this is getting too weird." Logan grumbled.
The group had stayed together and began talking and seeing the sites. They had discovered they were in what looked like New York, but seemed to be called New Tuscany.
They were going down a street when they saw a man running towards them running for his life by all things these men in red and silver with actual short swords drawn. "Help me! Someone!" The man pleaded.
"What do we do?" Jamie asked everyone.
"Well we can't let that guy get sliced and diced." Rembrandt said angrily. The man ran past them and as the first of the sword wielders got close Rembrandt close-lined him and he fell down hard.
The second one Logan took out since he was itching for something to fight. Let's just say the first guy had it easy. Two of the Sliders took the swords off the two men.
"Alright what's going on here?" Maggie demanded. "Yeah like why were you two chasing that man?" Kitty said.
"You dare challenge centurions of the Empire?" One of the men nearly snarled out.
"Centurions? Uh oh." Vincent said, remembering the Roman statue and the name of the city ran bell. "Ah crap."
"What is it?" Scott asked him, who had put on his visor, he really didn't like how things were going.
"Guys, centurions were used in the Roman Empire, and Tuscany is in Italy plus remember that Roman statue?" Vincent asked. He could see several of the students and Quinn beginning to put it all together.
"So what?" Logan grunted. Quinn turned to him. "I think it all means that in this world the Roman Empire never fell, and they had harsh punishments for criminals."
Then a few vehicles that looked like police cars, only in red and silver pulled up and men in the same uniform got out and pulled out guns. They also had the same short swords with them.
"Centurions! Drop the weapons and get on the ground or we will open fire!" One of them yelled out.
"Oh hell, this is just great." Bobby muttered.
"What do we do?" Rogue asked. She was ready to fight, and a few of the others were too. "Hold it Rogue." Scott said. "You, Vincent, Kitty and Logan can survive getting shot the others can't, and we can't risk the others if we do something." He let out a sigh. "For now we have to play along. At least until both of our devices are ready to get us out of here."
"How much time do you guys have?" Amada asked them. Colin who had the Timer looked at the countdown. "Five hours left."
"Perfect. This day just keeps getting better and better." Logan muttered.
*****
They were all sitting in some kind of cell. The mutants had agreed with each other not to use their powers until they were ready to leave or if they had too. With Jean's telepathy she had 'convinced' the guards to let them keep Scott's visor, and the devices both groups carried.
Although they were currently hiding them as well since they didn't want Jean to have to mess with the minds of everyone that saw them.
"What's taking so long?" Jamie whined. Everyone was getting tense from all the waiting. "Until we get to trail or until we leave?" Kitty asked him, so was slumped down next to him.
He just shrugged. "At this point either one will do for me."
Just then guards came in through one of the heavy steel doors at the end of the hall. "Looks like you got your wish kid." Logan said to him, Jamie just grimaced at that. "On second thought I think I'd rather wait until we can leave then go to the trail."
Unfortunately it didn't work like that and they were all lead by guards down several hallways and finally into a very large courtroom. At least that's what it mostly looked like.
There was a judge of course behind a very tall desk and they were all placed in some kind of circle. That's when the judge spoke up. "You all have been charged with the crime of adding a criminal and interfering in the centurions, and since you have no citizen papers on you, you there for have no rights."
This caused a lot of arguing from the group before the judge, and a few choice words. "Silence!" Bellowed the judge. "For non-citizens to commit crimes of this nature there is only one punishment...send them to the games."
The judge banged his gavel and the guards led the protesting group out. "What kind of kangaroo court was that?" Logan asked angrily. "Tell me about it man, we never even got a chance to defend ourselves." Rembrandt said to him.
"Guys I think we got more important matters, like what these 'games' are." Maggie said to the two men. "Well if this is like the Roman Empire on my Earth, then I get the feeling it will not be pleasant." Quinn darkly said to them.
"Can't you guys bust us out of here?" Colin asked them.
"An then what?" Amanda asked him. "Where would we go?"
That caused them to wonder at that. "Okay no escape plans until we figure that out, because I don't like the idea of running around this city with the 'police' force on us the entire time." Scott said to them all.
"Especially since we don't exactly do things low key most of the time." Bobby remarked.
*****
They were lead to a building that looked like a Colosseum only a little more modernized. "Why do I get the feeling that there will be lions, and guys in suits of armor." Bobby asked.
"Ja, I know, I'm just glad zey didn't take my inducer, vhat do you zink they vould do to me if zey saw my real form?" Kurt whispered to him.
"Most likely nothing good."
"What are you callin' THIS good." Rogue said to him. "Okay worse then." Bobby said.
"Quiet!" One of the guards ordered.
*****
They were led to a large metal door, and where left to wait. Then the door slowly opened and they entered. They were expecting a sand pit and vicious animals and gladiators. They were completely surprised by their turn of events.
"And here they are ladies and gentlemen!" Came a voice over a PA system. "Fresh from the courts, these dammed criminals have just been sent to us to fight...THE AMERICAN GLADIATORS!"
Then there were cheers from the stands and the actual music from the American Gladiators theme music from the TV show.
"Okay....THIS was unexpected." Quinn said, while everyone just nodded in agreement. In front of them where the exact games used in the TV show, except a little more lethal looking.
Vincent turned to Scott. "Hey Scott, remember that no powers thing?" Scott nodded. "I say we give them a real show, just not too much."
"I'm totally with him on this one." Kitty said staring at some of the 'games'.
First up was the joust. In their own respective worlds they used pads and they had padding on the sticks. Well since with was American Gladiators Roman style, there were none of that. In fact they had actual lances complete with steel tips.
The 'contestants' were chosen at random for the games. Two of the guys would fight then two of the girls. For the first time up, it was Colin and Logan for the guys, and Kitty and Maggie for the women.
Colin had some trouble but thanks to Jean tripping the Gladiator with a little TK force it was easy enough. Logan made short work of his opponent as did Maggie. Kitty just phased her body when the spear came close. Her opponent was expecting it to hit solid flesh and when it passed right through her, she lost her balance and fell.
The crowd couldn't believe it and neither could the announcer. "Ladies and gentlemen this has been unprecedented in years. The challengers have just made a clean slate victory over the Gladiators."
"This is truly an embarrassing development, but you know their luck can't last and the Gladiators will triumph."
Fortunately for the mutants their 'luck' stayed. Not to mention that several of the Gladiators had to be taken off the field for injuries.
During the wall climb Bobby had made a little ice on the wall when no one was looking and cause the Gladiator (who were carrying daggers) fall off the wall.
During the Assault in which they had to duck balls being shot at them, but in this case the balls were spiked and metal. Rogue had caught one and had thrown it at the cannon wrecking it and causing the Gladiator behind it going into a nervous breakdown, since she was nearly hit in the head by it.
During another trail that looked like some kind of football game. Vincent was set up and when the Gladiators tried to tackle him, even with the armor they had on, they knocked themselves out.
In fact during the entire time, the Gladiators were getting g the asskicking of a lifetime. Near the end a few had even quit, some couldn't get up and the few still standing actually didn't want to go onto the field.
"This...is a dark day for the Gladiators people." The announcer said in a very depressed tone. "Not only have our mighty Gladiators been brutally beaten down, but our own beloved Governor had yet to give a thumbs up or down during the entire affair."
"But it all comes down to this, The Eliminator!" Suddenly the sullen crowd got to it's feet as the monstrosity that was The Eliminator came up from the ground, as the ground opened and parted for it to rise.
"You've got to be kidding me." Logan said looking at the thing. It looked kind of like the Eliminator only larger and lethal of course. There were spinning blades on it, a giant meat grinder, flame throwers, and more.
"Man I'm never going to complain about the Danger Room again." Bobby moaned looking at the thing.
Quinn looked to his brother. "How much time left bro?"
Colin took out the timer and looked at it. "About a few minutes."
"Alright we need two volunteers, doesn't matter who." Said one of the guards coming up to them. Vincent stepped forward and Logan with him.
"Guys what are you doing?" Quinn asked.
"You need a few minutes and I'm tired of all of this." Logan said the anger could not be missed. "Besides I think it's time we show these guys what we can really do." He got a grin on his face and cracked his knuckles.
"Oh this should be interesting." Jamie said delighted at what those two were going to do.
"I think you two are right, enough is enough." Scott said to them all. "We'll be here to back you up, Kitty keep an eye out for our device to charge up, if it finishes scan this place and call us in so we can get out of here fast."
Kitty nodded her head and took out Forge's control device.
"Time for some Mayhem." Vincent said with a grin. He got a few looks from that remark. "What? I'm thinking of using it as a catch phrase or something, you don't like it?"
****
The announcer began the last trail with his voice. "Alright let's get the carnage begin-WHAT THE?!" He along with everyone else was shocked and amazed at seeing Logan take out his claws and start to tear through the Eliminator, literally tear through it.
Vincent was doing just as much damage. In fact they actually did go through the entire thing and wrecked it from end to end. The Gladiators actually tried to stop them, but when two of them were downed by Logan and Vincent threw the third at least twenty meters, the rest ran for the locker rooms.
In fact there was complete chaos after that. Guards tried to stop them, but the rest of the X-Men joined in and the bodies were flying everywhere after that.
"By the gods people I have never seen this, oh the humanity of it all, I don't know how much longer I can hold my position here." The announcer said in his box, but when a force bolt blasted the window by accident that was the last straw for him. "That's it! I'm going back to doing hockey, it's less violent then this." Then promptly ran out.
"Guys we're ready to go here!" Colin shouted at them. He activated the timer and the same portal from before opened up. Maggie sent to it first. "Nice knowing you guys." Then she jumped in. "Same here." Rembrandt said before he jumped in as well.
"Hope you guys get home." Quinn said to them before jumping him, Colin nodded his head to them and jumped in also. Soon after the portal was gone.
"Kitty how about us?" Scott asked. Kitty looked at their device and bit her lip. That was all he needed to know. "Great what else can go wrong."
Then what looked like the army had started to storm the place and leveled a LOT of guns at them. The mutants gathered together in a circle. "Why did I even SAY something like that."
"Guys." Kitty exclaimed excitedly. "It's ready."
"What are ya waiting for half-pint." Logan said to her not taking his eyes off all the soldiers. Kitty immediately punched in the correct sequence of controls and they vanished.
"What the-where did they go?" One of the soldiers asked.
"Does it matter, they're gone and as long as those...whatever they where are gone for good who cares." Said another. "Besides they messed up my favorite show."

"Guys we're ready to go here!" Colin shouted at them. He activated the timer and the same portal from before opened up. Maggie sent to it first. "Nice knowing you guys." Then she jumped in. "Same here." Rembrandt said before he jumped in as well.
"Hope you guys get home." Quinn said to them before jumping him, Colin nodded his head to them and jumped in also. Soon after the portal was gone.
