Omega Attack!
To Red Witch: Yeah, there are quite a few movies with long weird fight scenes. Unfortunately, "They Live" is the only one I know of. You want to know how Selene gets hers, huh? Well, let's find out soon, shall we? Enjoy the chapter!
To Raliena: Hey, even Merlin makes mistakes! Thanks for the sympathy! Enjoy the new chapter!
To Metal Dragon1: Yeah, but Kid Razor has to get Selene's pendant if Ronnie is to be freed. Oh, I think the Brotherhood can handle the Cavaliers with a little effort. A good hero has to be willing to face long odds.
In the last issue of "Omega Attack": Selene's transformed and brainwashed 'new toys' made their appearance at last. They were the Rock 'n' Roll Cavaliers, Kid Razor's bandmates and best friends. Guitarist Ronnie "Rip" Jones gained great strength and power over flame. Wendy Anderson, another guitarist, gained the power to fly and the power over thunder. Keyboardist Daniel "Fingers" Carrington gained mental abilities and power over water. Bassist Alex Baines gained superhuman speed and power over wind. And finally, drummer Tommy Baines gained invulnerability and power over earth. Kid Razor and Omega pursued Selene in the air, while leaving the Brotherhood, Storm, and Sonic Blue to deal with the transformed band. What happened next? Find out right now!

(Skies over Cleveland, Ohio)
"Oh, you two mortals provide never-ending amusement to me." Selene laughed happily as she flew, darting and dodging. She was avoiding blasts of rainbow-colored energy.
"WHY WON'T YOU GET SHOT DOWN, YOU LITTLE B&%$#!?!?!?!?" Kid Razor roared as he pursued her in flight, his green eyes glowing with a combination of the Power of Rock and his rage. "I'LL MAKE YOU PAY!!!!" He flew at great speed behind her, surrounded by a rainbow-colored energy field. He fired energy blasts at her from the head of his mystical guitar. Alongside the Ultimate Rockstar, the mutant born Mike Nagrite, codenamed Omega, flew, surrounded by a forcefield just like Razor's. He had his tentacles out.
"Allow me, Kid Razor! I want that hag's head!!!!!" Omega roared, lashing his tentacles out at her. Born a native from Miami, Omega came to Cleveland to grieve for his beloved girlfriend and former teammate in the Brotherhood and X-Factor, Elisabeth "Betsy" Braddock, who was codenamed Psylocke. However, he fell under the clutches of Selene, who was a member of the Hellfire Club, an elite organization Mike faced before. Using a combination of her own mental powers and some lies, Selene made Omega believe that the only way to end his pain was to get Kid Razor so she could use his guitar to bring Betsy back to life. However, she intended to use the guitar's magic to rule the world, and she planned to feed Omega to her demon pets anyway. It took the ghost of Betsy to calm Omega down and set him straight. Omega then agreed to help Kid Razor take the Black Queen down once and for all. Selene had pushed buttons on both heroes that no one should ever push, and she thought it was amusement! Omega could quite get a grip on her. "I can't get my tentacles around that witch! She's too fast!"
"Keep trying, Omega! You just might catch me!" Selene mock-encouraged with a laugh. "I think I might just put you in my catacombs for a few days before I throw you both to my demons!"
"The only one who's going to be locked up is you, Selene!" Razor yelled. "Scratch that! You're too good for it! The Kid of Rock is going to break your spine in 100 places! Then he's going to break every bone in your body, then beat you into a pile of liquid pulp, then blast you into outer space!"
"Save some for me, Razor!" Omega said. Betsy, I was such a fool! I can't believe I trusted her! You are my guardian angel, Betsy. Don't worry, girl. I know you are worrying about me. Don't. I'll be fine. And don't bother praying for the witch. For what she's done, she'll burn forever! At least I know you're in a great place now. That Astral Plane sounds alright. Meanwhile, Razor was having his own thoughts.
Ronnie Rocker was my best friend. If it weren't for him, I never would have been Kid Razor! He taught me how to handle my powers. He and I were a team. He was my coach, and he always had my back, always providing me advice and the occasional smart remark. Selene pulled a low blow when she trapped him. And then the little voyeuristic clown reveals that she had been watching me ever since I defeated that demon Xantor. Kid Razor looked over at Omega. This Omega guy, he's alright. A little too dark-toned in attitude, but the guy can fight. I can't begin to understand what he went through. He had lost the girl he loved, and then that witch twisted him with his own emotions! But I'm glad he's one of the good guys. Out of all of us, Omega deserves some happiness the most. Maybe after all this, I can set him up with…no, that chick has gotten with every decent-looking guy in Cleveland!
Boy, what a fine day this turned out to be! Omega thought. I ended up a pawn of some leather-clad hag because she was after the guitar of a superhero which happens to have great magical powers. My life is a &%$# CURSE!!! Sarah got killed, only to return to life and try to kill me. My old man hates me because he feels I was given power I don't deserve, and now he wants to destroy all mutants and use my DNA to do it! Betsy died, and now this! Selene was right when she said I shed blood before. I ripped apart the monster that stabbed Betsy in the back with my tentacles in a fit of pure rage. And now it begins again. I'm helping a rockstar fight a witch and it's obvious the feud between them is deeply personal. At least on Razor's end. He's lucky, whoever he is under that fancy war paint of his. He's never had to suffer like I did. And he had some great friends in the Cavaliers. Now Selene had twisted them against him, and my old teammates are trying not to do something extreme. Razor's right about one thing. He can't begin to understand me. At least the guy tries, though. Under the mouth and ego, he's a good guy. Cleveland's in good hands and Selene's in a lot of trouble. "Hey Razor?"
"Yo!"
"Thanks."
"For what?"
"Not killing me when we fought."
"Hey, that wasn't you, man." Razor smirked. "You ready to rock?"
"I got Betsy watching over me. I fear nothing." Omega smirked.
"Let's go burn a witch at the stake." Razor said. "For Ronnie and Betsy."
"I already avenged Bets, man." Omega replied. "I have no regrets and no fear now. And I have no plans for dying at the hands of that witch."
"Neither do I." Razor agreed. "I plan to free Ronnie today and fulfill my vow: To put m guitar through Selene's stomach! You hear me, Selene?! Your tricks don't mean squat! We're gonna make like the Scorpions and Rock You like a Hurricane, and there's only two things you can do about it: Shut up and like it! Whoo!"
"Razor, that was one dumb joke."
"Hey, I'm known for those jokes!" Razor snapped. Boris peeked up from his hiding spot in Omega's jacket.
Good. He thought. These two may do it. They got the determination, and they're fearless. My rat-sense is telling me that Selene is in big trouble.
