Brotherhood Evolution: Dark Horizon's and Impact suck!

Well, since I haven't seen either of these episodes, I decided to have the Brotherhood just go off on a rant about how much life sucks. It was really quite enjoyable to listen in on. I hope you all agree.

P.s. After seeing the new Brotherhood episode, no one can claim that Lance is not a bad ass. Did you see the way he took out that explosion? Totally freaking' awesome. It shows that the Authors decided to make Lance the "good' Bad guy. You know, the one that's only on the bad side because he's stuck there, but really tries to do good things. I mean, come on. That episode was just so god damn cool. But enough of my rant, on with the show!

The Brotherhood of Bayville Boarding House

"I despise my life." Mike said simply. "I really do."

"Okay!" Betsy stated as she sat down, "Let's do a recap!"

"Aye, aye!" Toad mock saluted.

"Don't push me..." Betsy hissed.

"First, Magneto comes back and has us ruin what should have been MY graduation ceremony." Lance stated. "But Kelly, put a cap on that... God I hate him..."

"What about me and Mike?" Betsy demanded.

"Whatever. Then we get left behind when they go to take on big daddy bad Apocalypse." Lance continued. "God that burns!" Lance screamed as the house shook.

"Try some hemorrhoid cream." Blob said simply but then shut up as he received a death glare from Lance.

"I am seriously pissed!" Mike said as he punched the wall, putting a crater in it. "I wanted top see what the big deal was with this Apocalypse punk. See if he lives up to the hype."

"Fat chance." Blob said simply.

"Did Freddy just burn himself?" Betsy asked.

"I think I did." Blob said sheepishly.

"I'm just worried about my pupsie." Toad said simply. "Ever since Magneto bit the big one, she hasn't been the same."

"Well, Mastermind did do a job on her memories, all she remembers is fond thoughts of my old man." Pietro said simply. "God I hated him."

"It finally comes out!" Mike called out. "Hallelujah! Welcome back to the dark side Petey!"

"Dark side is such a negative term." Blob responded. "I prefer 'poorly lit' side. It's much nicer."

"Agreed." Lance stated.

"I second the motion." Betsy added.

"Motion carried." Toad said as he pulled out the scroll that was the brotherhood charter and scribbled on it. "From now on it shall be called the 'Poorly Lit' side."

"Hey, as a plus, we won't have to deal with Mystique anymore." Blob said simply. "Last I heard from Tabitha was that Rogue shattered her all over the place."

"Way to go girl!" Mike said as he nodded his head. "I knew she had spunk."

"This absolutely blow guys. Now we have no one to cover the bills for us. We're back at where we started." Lance said simply.

"Correction. You're no longer with Kitty and now we have Wanda. So technically we're up a few steps." Toad said innocently.

"SHUT UP!" Lance shouted as he sent Toad flying with a blast of siesmic energy.

"Ow." Toad moaned from the kitchen.

"I'm going to vent…" Lance stated as he stormed outside.

"I'll join you." Mike said as he grabbed his trench coat off the rack and put it on. "I'm seriously thinking of paying a visit to Kelly's new office…"

"Good idea." Lance said simply as they got into the jeep and drove off. "I still can't believe that SOB is running for Mayor."

"And on an anti-mutant platform to boot." Mike added as they drove off.

"They left without me…" Blob said simply. "I wanna hurt Kelly too."

"Don't worry Freddy, they'll do a fine job." Toad said as he patted Blob on the back. "A fine job indeed…"

On the road…

"This really blows." Lance said again.

"I know." Mike said.

"No. I mean really. I never wanted much, just a chance to prove myself as more than some freakin' degenerate punk. Now I'll never get that option."

"Course you will man, I mean, come on. There are going to be other chances. Hell there might be a train wreck sometime soon."

"Yea. Right. Ever since I was a little kid, all I wanted to be was a superhero. You know. Pull the helpless damsel from said train wreck. Stop an explosion. Save some lives. Not for the attention, but for the fact that I could give something back, and maybe prove to people that I'm more than damaged goods…" Lance said, as he became melancholy.

"Same here bro." Mike said. "What are we man? A couple of would be heroes who got handed a bad hand by God. And you know what?"

"No."

"Even though we got dealt all the wrong cards, we still managed to come out on top of things at times. We got friends who back us up, unless they're running for their lives of course. We got good times every once in awhile."

"You got Betsy, I got no one." Lance added with a smirk.

"Hey, that's your problem."

"Yea. I don't know. There are times when I think Kitty might have been right. Maybe I am nothing but a hood."

"You probably are."

"Hey, aren't you supposed to be supportive?"

"Frankly Lance I am sick of all the complaining people are doing with their love lives." Mike said. "You still mope about Kitty now and then, Toad with Wanda, Pietro with whatever girl he's got that week, and Blob with no one. Does anyone realize that I've got the most screwed up love life of all of us?"

"You got Betsy." Lance pointed out.

"Yea. I got Betsy. But I also got the love of my life out there wanting me dead. I saw my soul mate get killed in front of me, and now she's alive and wants me dead. Christ, I can barely look at Betsy now a days. I love her yea, but I just don't know what to do with Sarah. A big part of me still loves her alot. And I don't know how to deal with what's going on right now."

"Oh yea." Lance said simply.

"Oh yea indeed." Mike said as they continued the rest of the drive in silence.

********************

Kelly's Campaign Office

"Would you look at that? It's closed." Mike said simply.

"Yea. Like that's ever stopped us before." Lance said as he rolled his eyes into the back of his head. "RAH!" Lance screamed as he stomped his foot on the ground and sent a tremor and knocked the door off of its hinges. "Hmm. I expected more of a punch with that." Lance drawled.

"Gripe, gripe, gripe…" Mike said simply as he walked into Kelly's new office. "So, the neon green or the red hot pink?" Mike said as he held up two cans of spray paint.

"Lets do both." Lance said as he took one.

"Ohhhhh… Big spender." Mike said simply.

"Shut up."

"And a twiddle diddy dee…" Mike sang out as he spray-painted Kelly's office.

********************

Back at the 'Hood house

"So what'd you get from the Acolyte's?" Toad asked as Pietro hung up the phone.

"They were laughing and having a party. And I swore I heard Colossus in the background giving thanks to some dark power that is best left unmentioned." Pietro said sullenly.

"Rob Riener?' Betsy asked.

"Guess he didn't really treat them any better." Mike said as he and Lance walked into the house, smiles plastered on their face.

"Hey, guess who got Kelly's liquor stash!" Lance said as he held up the bottles of vodka.

"Score." Toad said as he hopped into the kitchen and emerged with a few small glasses. Lance poured the liquor into the glasses as the Brotherhood gathered around. Wanda walked down when she heard the commotion and joined them as they lifted the glasses into the air.

"Guys. This is a new beginning for all of us. One where we determine our future. Where we are masters of our destinies. It's our life. Its damn time we started acting like it." Lance said as the Brotherhood clicked their glasses together.

"To a new beginning." Betsy said.

"To a new life." Toad stated.

"To being ourselves." Mike said.

"To being Family." Wanda added.

"To make a profit when ever we can and milk everything for all its worth." Pietro said with a smile.

"PIETRO!" The brotherhood all shouted at him as they glared at him.

"What?" Pietro asked sheepishly.

"Guys. To a world that fears and hates us. May they come to realize our power and learn to respect it and us. So help then God." Blob said as he raised his glass.

"Amen Reverend." Toad said simply. "Amen."
