Brotherhood Evolution: Aliens, Part II: If this wasn't so Scary, It'd be really Cool.
Well I see you all seem to like this, of course you could just be fooling me… But I digress. ON WITH THE SHOW!
********************
Forge's Love Nest
(Ding-dong) "Who could that be?" Forge asked as he walked over to the monitor that was connected to the camera above the door. "What are those fools doing here?" Forge asked as he saw the Brotherhood standing out side the door, Toad picking his nose.
"Helloooo!" Pietro called out as he rapped on the door.
"What do you want?" Forge asked as he opened the door.
"We need your help." Lance said as he pushed his way in. "You are the resident techno genius, right?"
"Yea. What does that have to do with anything?" Forge asked as Toad picked up a weird looking device and pushed a button on it. He disappeared completely in a flash of light.
"We have a slight situation that you may be interested in." Wanda stated as Toad reappeared with a Siberian Tiger chasing after him.
"What kid of problem?" Forge asked as Toad jumped away from the tiger and pushed another button on the machine as the Tiger disappeared in a flash of light. "Give me that." Forge said as he swiped the machine from Toad and put it back.
"You'd have to see it to believe it. But lets just say that it's out of this world." Betsy said simply as Forge's face perked up.
********************
Bayville High
"You wanted to see my Duncan?" Kelly asked as he flipped though a file.
"Yes. Welcome to the Brood Principle Kelly…" Duncan said as Kelly looked up and screamed as tendrical wrapped around him.
********************
Xavier's
"Oh my stars and gutters." Beast said as he opened the door to see Lilandra standing in front of Logan and Xavier.
"What the flammin' hell?" Wolverine cried as he popped his claws.
"There's no need for violence Wolverine." Lilandra said as she put her helmet onto Xavier's desk. "I come with a warning and a plea for help." Lilandra said as she leaned against the desk. Beast closed the door and meandered over next to Xavier to listen in.
"Okay. So plea." Logan said as he retracted his claws.
"I am Lilandra, empress of the Shi'air Empire. For the last two millennia, my people have been trapped in a three-sided war against two other factions, the Phalanx, and the Brood. We Shi'air are naturally peaceful people, we see ourselves as keepers of the peace in the universe. Thus we tried to keep this war from destroying other planets, but we have failed. Now I fear that this war may have come to earth." Lilandra said sullenly.
"Great." Logan muttered as Xavier thought carefully.
"What makes you think this?" Xavier asked.
"We have been scanning the universe for planets that can sustain both the Brood and the Phalanx, earth is the one that can sustain both indefinitely.
"Sorry, but I have to ask." Beast said. "What sort of life forms are we looking at here?"
"We Shi'air are similar to your avian species. Are bones are hollow and we lay eggs after mating. We also are supported by a system of fluid like chambers that allow us to breathe in any atmosphere for extended periods of time." Lilandra said as Beast let out a whistle. "The Phalanx are a species of humanoid computers. Made of both organic and technological materials, they survive by absorbing all those who oppose them into the collective, effective turning others in Phalanx as well. They absorb all technology and organics to feed their unquenchable thirst for knowledge and control."
"Sounds like someone I know." Logan said simply.
"And the Brood are the worst." Lilandra said with a shutter. "They are parasites of the highest order. They claim to be the oldest of all species in the universe. They have insect like mentalities and follow only one being, their empress, and their queen. The one who spawned them all. They are like giant insects, with barbed teeth and tendricals for limbs and carapaces hard as steel. They use other living beings as a means of reproduction, laying eggs in the person and allowing the young brooding to transform the persons DNA, into that of the Brood. They are ruthless, taking over all that they believe that will be helpful to them in their quest to rule the universe." Lilandra said simply. "Once you have become one of the Brood, the only way to turn back is to kill the minor queen that is controlling the person, but that is a task that has almost never occurred in our history."
"So they're basically like the aliens in the movie Alien." Beast said to Wolverine.
"Oh. So that means their Slezoids to me." Logan said with a smile.
"Lilandra, what can we do to help you?" Xavier asked.
"The Shi'air primary goal is victory in the war, and to do that, we have to make sure that both the Phalanx and Brood do not get any holdings here on earth, yet I'm afraid that both are already here. I need your help in making sure that their presence here on earth is eradicated."
"Any clue on where they are?" Beast asked.
"We know that the Phalanx arrived here a few hours ago, only a short distance away. But as for the Brood, I have no clue." Lilandra said simply as the Mansions alarm suddenly went off.
"Now what?" Wolverine asked as they ran outside to see what was going on.
********************
The Brotherhood of Bayville Boarding House
"If this wasn't so scary, it'd be really cool." Forge said as he stared at the Brotherhood house.
"So, any thoughts Techno boy?" Mike asked as he crossed his arms. Betsy smiled at Wanda before she jumped on his back and held on as Mike let out a gasp. "Air… Bets…"
"From my first guess on what you told me about what this thing did, I'd say this is an alien life form made from technology and organics in a combination that allows it to be a living computer of sort with the ability to grow exponentially as it absorbs other organic or technological matter into its system." Forge said as the others all stared at him dumbfounded.
"Told ya." Toad said simply.
"I saw it and heard it, but I still don't believe it." Wanda said as she pulled her jaw up from the ground. "Toad was right."
"This is totally radical, I mean this is possibly the greatest discovery the world has ever seen." Forge said. "I have got to get a sample to study."
"No can do." Mike said. "Both Blob and I tried to touch it, with me getting diced up and Freddy getting shocked. This thing has some nasty defenses that can override our own."
"Plus the fact that it said that's its primary goal was to take over the planet and assimilate or kill every living thing." Betsy said simply from Mike's back.
"Major drag." Forge said simply. "But i think i can get one." Forge said as he walked over to the house and his arm turned into the weird tool thing. It snipped of a piece of metal without a hitch.
"Damn." Mike said simply.
"Got it. With this, I should be able to learn alot about what this thing is." Forge said as his arm turnwed back.
"But more importantly, how do we destroy it then?" Pietro asked.
"I supposed I could grab the dimensional warp device from the X-Mansion and blast this thing into another reality and let those demon things deal with it.
"It's risky." Mike pointed out.
"I have to agree with Omega. We have no clue on how this thing will react to an attack like this. What if it takes over those demons converts them and finds a way back? Then we're really screwed." Lance pointed out.
"Good point." I'll get to work on trying to figure out how to fight these. The answer may lie within its duel nature of being both technological and organic." Forge said.
"Betsy, I want you, and Toad to go with Forge and help him out." Pietro said simply. "Blob, you, and Omega stay here and watch this thing and make sure it stays here. "Lance, you and Wanda and Tabitha, and I will hit the X-Geeks place and grab Forge's do-hicky, just in case we need to use it as a last resort."
"Um, instead of you guys breaking in and causing millions worth of damage, I could just walk in and get it. I do have a pass.' Forge pointed out, as the Brotherhood stared at him stupidly.
"What is this "Not causing millions worth of damage" you speak of?" Wanda asked.
"Yea. And where's the fun in that?" Toad asked.
(Sigh) "Let's go back to my house then." Forge said simply as the Brotherhood exchanged a look and then split up.
********************
Xavier's
"What is going on?" Lilandra asked as Xavier and Beast sat in the War room, checking the monitors that patrolled the Mansion.
"We're under attack." Xavier said as he watched his student suit up with Wolverine and Storm. Ororo had been filled in on what was happening, but the student's were left out of the loop for now.
"Is this a Brotherhood attack?" Kitty asked as the X-Men ran outside onto the lawn to see the Bayville football team standing there with Principle Kelly. "Or maybe not…"
"What this about Bub?" wolverine asked as Duncan stepped forward.
"We have no quarrel with you human. We seek only the threat known as Lilandra so that we may exterminate." Duncan said in a monotone voice.
"Since when has Duncan been smart enough to say a word like Quarrel?" Kurt asked.
"Or exterminate?" Scott added.
"Because that's not Duncan…" Jean said as she held her head. "I'm picking up some higher brain activity that I never felt in him before."
"You mean he actually used his brain?" Rogue asked.
"Focus." Logan snapped as he turned his attention back to the trespassers. "What do you want with her?"
"She is of no concern to you. You have three seconds to comply before we terminate your existence." Kelly said simply.
"I'd love a chance to pound on you Kelly." Rogue muttered.
"Very well. May the will of the empress be done." Duncan said as he and the others morphed into strange green bug like creatures with large heads, mouths full of pointy teeth, two pairs of tendricals for arms and six legs on an abdomen-based body. (That honestly the best description I can give for those who don't know what the Brood looks like)
"What in the hell?" Logan asked as the rest of the X-Men all went into shock.
"Now there's something you don't see every day." Scott said as he blasted one of them.
"Unless your, like, us." Kitty said as she phased though one of them. Soon a battle was on, with the mansions auto defenses helping to keep the Brood at bay, but the Brood continued to throw themselves at the X-men, who weren't trained to deal with an attack of this style.
"I don't like this." Wolverine said as he slashed at one of the Brood only to have his claws bounce off. "They got some kinda armor on 'em."
"And my optic blasts aren't doing anything more than scratching them." Cyclops shouted as he unleashed a full power blast at one at point blank range only to have it reflect back to him. "Ug."
"Scott!" Jean shouted as she sent one of the Brood flying as she ran to her boyfriend.
"This is getting nowhere…" Kurt muttered as he teleported away from a lashing tendrical.
"Well, well, well. Looks-like-the-X-Geeks-are-getting-beat-at-their-own-game." Pietro crowed as the Brotherhood watched from a distance.
"Ten gets you twenty those huge bugs are somehow connected to what's going on at our house." Wanda said.
"So do we help the idiots, or enjoy the show?" Lance asked.
"Na. This-is-the-perfect-distraction. I'll-just-zip-in-and-grab-Forge's-Do-hicky. I-won't-need-you-guys-as-a-distraction-now." Pietro quipped.
"So nice to see you care about us speedy." Tabitha said as she popped her gum.
"I-don't." Pietro said as he zoomed off. He returned a few seconds later with Forge's device in hands. "Man-this-is-to-easy."
"Die humans!' One of the Brood shouted as it tackled Wanda out of nowhere.
"You where saying?" Lance asked as he created a tremor that knocked the Broodling back as Pietro helped Wanda up.
"We should get out of here." Tabitha said as a couple more of the Brood appeared and began to surround the Brotherhood.
"GO! I'll hold them back." Lance said as he rolled his eyes into the back of his head and stomped his foot on the ground. The earth around Lance cracked and rose up, slamming into the members of the Brood that surrounded the Brotherhood.
"Lets-go." Pietro shouted as he jumped into the jeep.
"What about rocky?" Tabitha asked as she and Wand a piled in.
"He can take care of himself." Pietro said as he started up the jeep as Lance sent another wave of earth at the Brood who tried to attack the jeep.
"Lets dance you ugly mothers…" Lance said as the Jeep sped of into the distance.
